Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister what arrangements have been made for collaboration between the Czecho-Slovak Committee on behalf of the Czecho-Slovak military authorities and the appropriate Anglo-Freneh mili- 142 tary authorities when questions affecting the employment of the Czecho-Slovak forces are under consideration?
§ Mr. ButlerThese Czecho-Slovak forces are being assembled and trained in France and an agreement was reached last October between the French Government and the appropriate Czecho-Slovak authorities in Paris regarding their reconstitution and employment. As the Prime Minister stated on the 24th January the Czecho-Slovak National Committee is already in touch with the competent departments of His Majesty's Government on the subject of recruiting arrangements for these forces.
§ Mr. ManderCan the right hon. Gentleman say how many Czechs have joined up to date in this country?
