HC Deb 11 October 1944 vol 403 c1724
8. Captain Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any official information as to the German claim to have captured General Bor in Warsaw.

Mr. Law

The Polish Government have authorised me to say that on the morning of 4th October they received a message from Warsaw, in which General Bor stated that, as all ways of escape were now closed, he and his staff would have to surrender at midday. There is therefore no reason whatever to doubt that the German claim to have captured General Bor is correct.

Captain Duncan

Does that not vitiate the accuracy of the information put out by the Lublin Committee, which stated, time and again, that General Bor had never been in Warsaw, and will he convey that information to the Ministry of Information so they may decrease the amount of publicity given to the Lublin Committee's report?

Mr. Law

I have no doubt my right hon. Friend the Minister of Information will see the reply to this Question, and my hon. and gallant Friend's supplementary question.
