§ 52. Mr. MYERSasked the Prime Minister whether the area claimed by the Poles outside their frontiers assigned to them by the Peace Conference contains a population of 73.2 per cent. of Russians, 4.67 per cent. Poles, 13.43 per cent. Jews, and 8.70 per cent. of other races?
Mr. HARMSWORTHAs the proposed negotiations between the Polish Government and the Soviet Government have not yet taken place, I am unable to say what may be the Polish claims or what the population of the area which they may desire to occupy.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYHas not the Peace Conference laid down provisionally the frontiers of Poland? Surely the hon. Gentleman knows the portions which are outside or inside those frontiers?
Mr. HARMSWORTHUntil we know definitely the claims of the Polish Government I should not like to say anything.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay we take it that His Majesty's Government are not supporting in any way those claims outside the frontiers laid down provisionally for Poland at the Peace Conference?
