HC Deb 21 December 1960 vol 632 c162W
57. Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Minister of Defence whether when negotiating an agreement with the Federal Government of Germany for the granting of training facilities for West German troops in Great Britain, he will insist that such troops should not be under the control and command of former high ranking Nazi officers and others who served under Hitler in a senior capacity.

Mr. Watkinson

No. It is for the German authorities to decide whom to appoint to command their forces.

60. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Minister of Defence what facilities he is providing for German troops to train in Great Britain.

Mr. Watkinson

I have nothing to add to what I said in reply to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun) on 12th December.
