Mr. J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the present strength and composition of German forces, military anl quasi-military, in East Germany.

Mr. Turton

Apart from the fact that I understand preparations are being made for the introduction of conscription, I have nothing to add to the information about the East German police and military forces contained in Command Paper No. 9213 of July last year.
