HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c123W
49. Mr. Stokes

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will now give instructions to suspend the non-fraternisation rule in Germany and admit anti-Nazi Germans to clubs and places of entertainment frequented by members of the Allied Commission of Control.

Mr. J. Hynd

There is no general non-fraternisation rule in the British zone. Germans may now be entertained at official functions in officers' messes and to a limited extent at private functions in other messes and clubs. Any general entertainment of Germans would, however, still create difficulties. Germans are not admitted to entertainments provided for British personnel, but British personnel can visit German theatres, clubs and private houses.
