HC Deb 04 June 1946 vol 423 c298W
112. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of British mothers of illegitimate children being able to secure affiliation orders against British soldiers, he will consider arranging for similar opportunities being extended to German women in respect of British soldiers.

Mr. Lawson

Any arrangement on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend would require legislation. Moreover, it could clearly not be confined only to soldiers and is not therefore primarily a matter for my Department.
