HC Deb 02 February 1948 vol 446 c227W
89. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the unanimous decision of the London conference on 10th December, 1947, to accept the transfer to public ownership of various industries as a means of breaking up the dangerous concentration of economic power in Germany, he will resume the policy of the nationalisation of the heavy industries.

Mr. McNeil

Since the socialisation of German heavy industries has been and continues to be the policy of His Majesty's Government, the question of resuming such a policy does not arise.
