§ 14. Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that alien Jews visiting German resorts are excluded from bathing places at the sea, rivers, lakes, and from sun-bathing shelters and that, on their arrival at a spa, they must report to the police who will issue to them a special card; and, if so, whether he intends making any protest against these restrictions on behalf of British Jews?
§ Mr. ButlerI am aware that certain restrictions have been placed upon the movements of Jewish visitors, including foreign Jews, at German spas and other resorts, but I am not aware of any cases of British Jews having suffered from these restrictions.
§ Mr. SorensenMay we take it that the hon. Gentleman will make representations to the German Government if he finds that there are these restrictions being placed upon our own nationals?
§ Mr. ButlerIn the event of British subjects suffering hardship, we would, of course, consider the possibility of taking up individual cases with the German Government.
§ Mr. SorensenIs it considered a hardship not to be able to bathe?
Miss RathboneWould not the best way of avoiding these restrictions be for Jews and all other English people to keep out of Germany?
