HC Deb 16 February 1948 vol 447 cc140-1W
73. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps have been taken to offer alternative accommodation for the eye clinic of Dr. Tippleskerch at Bad Filsen; and in view of the special work being performed by this oculist, whether his original clinic will be restored to him, when vacated by the R.A.F. as it was specially built for this purpose.

Mr. McNeil

I am assured that this doctor is actually practising and that his only real difficulty is lack of accommodation for visiting patients. The local Military Government authorities have undertaken to give assistance in the matter of visiting patients from outside Germany whenever the need arises. As for German patients, it is for the German authorities to arrange for their accommodation but the Military Governor has directed that enquiries are to be made into the possibility of returning Dr. von Tippleskirch's house to him for the accommodation of his patients.
