HC Deb 24 March 1919 vol 114 c24
48. Sir ALFRED YEO

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have now recognised Poland as a neutral and sovereign State, and whether, accordingly, persons born in Poland of parents who were then domiciled there are regarded by the British Government as neutral subjects and are entitled to that status?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The answer to the second part is that persons who desire to be recognised as "alien friends" by His Majesty's Government must obtain certificates from the Polish National Committee in London.
