HC Deb 26 January 1949 vol 460 cc122-3W
44 and 80. Major Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) if he will describe the counter-measures he has taken to hasten the day when the Russian authorities will again allow the free flow of goods and services to Berlin; and what success has so far attended these efforts;

(2) what measures he has taken to prevent the flow of raw materials and manufactured goods from the West to the East zones of Germany as a counter-measure to the Russian blockade of Berlin.

Mr. McNeil

The British, French and United States authorities in Germany have been compelled to take steps to protect the economy of the Western zones and Western sectors of Berlin including the prohibition of all exports from the British, French and United States zones to the Soviet zone of Germany.
