HC Deb 05 June 1946 vol 423 c322W
18. Mr. Anthony Greenwood

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what report he has received from the C.I D. about members of the R.A.F. smuggling foodstuffs from this country into Berlin; and how many members of the R.A.F. are under detention in this connection.

Mr. de Freitas

We have received no report whatever from the C.I.D. about any smuggling of foodstuffs from this country into Berlin by members of the Royal Air Force, none of whom is under arrest in this connection. I would like to make it clear, however, that we are fully conscious of the opportunities which are bound to exist at present for activities of this kind. We are taking every possible precaution and any offence will he severely dealt with.
