HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 c2217W
Major GLYN

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to issue the Reports of the British military commissioners in Berlin as a Parliamentary Paper in view of the present situation in Germany?

Mr. CHURCHILL

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. There are at present in Berlin a British Military Mission under Major-General Malcolm and an Armament Sub-Commission of the Inter-Allied Commission of Control under Major-General Bingham. The former is concerned in assisting the German Government with shipping arrangements for the repatriation of Russian prisoners of war and continuing the search for missing British prisoners of war. Major-General Malcolm also acts as an assistant to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Berlin. The latter is concerned with the reduction and surrender of, German armament and material under the terms of the Peace Treaty, and is working under a French General, who is President of the whole Commission. It is not proposed to publish General Bingham's Reports as Parliamentary Papers.
