HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 cc283-4W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War, if, for the period that ex-enemy prisoners of war are still to remain in this country, he will relax the ban on fraternisation between British civilians and prisoners, at any rate those in the White category.

Mr. Lawson

No, Sir. This is a matter of Government policy, and I would not feel justified in recommending any relaxation of the present rules relating to fraternisation between British civilians and prisoners of war in this country.
