HC Deb 08 July 1920 vol 131 cc1640-1
42. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether the Polish Government have a military representative in this country; and, if so, is he informed of all arrangements, documents, and agreements come to between the Polish military representative and the Secretary of State for War?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, the relations existing between the Polish military representative and the Secretary of State for War are similar to those existing between my right hon. Friend and the military representatives of other States. I have no doubt that the Secretary of State for War informs the Prime Minister of all important arrangements, documents and agreements.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Does that answer mean other allied States or other States generally?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It applies more or less to all States.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Questions of policy would therefore not arise. It is merely a question of ordinary military matters?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No question of policy would arise with the Secretary of State for War.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of telegrams being sent—

Mr. SPEAKER

Hon. Members who occupy time with supplementary questions should remember that every supplementary question which they ask prevents another hon. Member from putting his question.
