Mr. Hale

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the annual cost of maintenance of the prison at Spandau; how much is paid by Her Majesty's Government; and how many prisoners are now maintained there.

Mr. George Thomson

Last year the total annual cost of Spandau prison to the German Federal Republic was £38,125 and to the United Kingdom £6,666. We have no figures for the cost to the United States, France and the Soviet Union. One prisoner is maintained in the prison.

Mr. Hale

asked he Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any British troops or other British personnel are still engaged in guarding or servicing the prison at Spandau.

Mr. George Thomson

Yes, together with the Americans, French and Russians we provide civilian warders and a rotating military guard.
