HC Deb 06 July 1948 vol 453 cc28-9W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why he has approved an order for the destruction of the Torpedo-Versuchts-Anstalt, Ost., near Eckenforde; and whether, in view of the fact that it has been dismantled as an armament works and of the proposal of the German authorities in Schleswig-Holstein to use it as a textile factory, he will reconsider the decision to blow it up.

Mr. Mayhew

No order has been given for the destruction of the surface buildings of the establishment referred to, the treatment of which is still under consideration.
