§ 67. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government will make representations to the German Government that they cannot accept differentiation of treatment between Aryan and non-Aryan holders of British passports?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Butler)The hon. Member is presumably referring to the regulations governing the departure of foreigners, recently issued in Austria, in which a distinction was apparently drawn between non-Aryan and other foreigners. I have now been informed that no formalities are any longer required in the case of British visitors wishing to leave Austria unless they are resident in Austria. I am making further inquiries concerning the conditions governing the departure of British residents.
§ Mr. ThorneWhat is the meaning of "Aryan"?
§ Mr. ButlerI would refer the hon. Member to the Nuremburg Law.
§ Commander Locker-LampsonWill not the Government protest against this differentiation in regard to British subjects?
