HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 c2709W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the Minister of Works what action is intended to regain possession of those articles from the former German Embassy which are being used, or are likely to be used, for propaganda purposes by Nazi-minded persons in this country; whether he will at once take such action; and what precautions are being taken against the further sale of articles from the Embassy which have obvious Nazi associations.

Mr. Wilson

It is not proposed to take any action as suggested. I do not believe that these relics of a discredited regime will have any propaganda value in this country. Certain photogravures were withdrawn from the sale held yesterday and an engraving entitled "Hitler" will not be included in the further sale to be held on 10th December.
