HC Deb 21 January 1947 vol 432 c21W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Prime Minister if he can now state the official date for the termination of the war with Germany.

The Prime Minister

I regret that, in existing circumstances and pending the Council of Foreign Ministers to be held at Moscow on 10th March, it is not possible to give the exact date at which the state of war with Germany will in law be terminated. Meanwhile, technically, the state of war still continues to exist between the United Kingdom and Germany.
