§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for Burma whether he is aware that there is grave dissatisfaction in the European community in Rangoon at the inaction of the administration in the face of the activities of Germans, Danes, Dutch and Italians who are still permitted to carry on business there, and are at the same time actively decrying Britain and British interests; and whether he will make an inquiry into this position, and act accordingly?
§ Mr. AmeryI am not aware of such dissatisfaction or of any reason for it. Only nine male Germans, who are over military age, are at liberty in Burma, and these are under surveillance. All Italians who are at liberty are under surveillance, and of these all but two are Catholic priests and lay workers.
