HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 c405W
81. Mr. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for War what restrictions are still in force with regard to fraternisation between British military personnel and Italians in former Italian territories now subject to British military occupation.

104. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for War on what grounds fraternisation, which is allowed in Italy, is prohibited in Rhodes arid the Dodecanese.

Mr. Lawson:

The situation as regards non-fraternisation with Italians in the former Italian colonies in Africa remains as stated in my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Basingstoke (Squadron-Leader Donner) on 26th March. Similar considerations applied in the case of Rhodes and the Dodecanese but it is proposed to lift the ban in these islands in the near future.
