HC Deb 18 February 1947 vol 433 c956
9. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can now state the result of his discussions with the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary of State for the Colonies regarding the abolition of the colour bar against applicants for Regular engagement in the Army and the R.N.

Mr. J. Freeman

The discussions are continuing but I cannot say when conclusions are likely to be reached.

Mr. Driberg

Are these discussions going on fairly continuously, or just occasionally—once a month or something like that?

Mr. Freeman

They are going on in the way which seems to us the most appropriate.
