§ Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Prime Minister whether members of the Government make arrangements for visits to Germany on their own initiative or whether there is consultation with the Allied Control Commission or any other authority in occupied Germany; and who undertakes the publicity for such visits.

§ Mr. LawsonI have been asked to reply. Arrangements for the visits of members of the Government to Germany are made by the Departments concerned, through the Control Commission for Germany (British Element), to the Travel Bureau at Main Headquarters. On receipt of approval from the Travel Bureau, Military Permit Offices issue the necessary permit. The publicity for such visits is handled in Germany by the Public Relations and Information Services Control Branch of the Control Commission. Publicity in this country is handled by the Department whose Minister is going to Germany.
