§ 33. Captain Francis Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that other ranks in British women's Services are being excluded from British officers' clubs in Germany, whereas German civilian women are admitted; and what steps he will take to lift this ban.
§ Mr. LawsonGermans are in no circumstances allowed to be entertained in British officers' clubs or messes in Germany. It is not the normal practice for other ranks of the women's Services to be invited to officers' clubs.
§ Captain Noel-BakerIf I give the right hon. Gentleman information I have where German women were dancing with British officers while British other ranks were not allowed in, will he look into the matter closely?
§ Mr. LawsonYes, Sir.
