HC Deb 18 October 1944 vol 403 c2351
9. Captain Cobb

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the joint responsibilities that the Allies have assumed for the post-war settlement of Europe, the British and U.S.A. Governments have representatives in the liberated countries of South-East and Central Europe.

Mr. Law

His Majesty's Government and the United States Government have not yet got representatives in the partially liberated countries of South-East and Central Europe, since the Allied Governments concerned have not yet returned. When they return to their countries, it is His Majesty's Government's intention that British diplomatic representatives should accompany them. If my hon. and gallant Friend also has in mind enemy countries, I can assure him that provision has been made for His Majesty's Government and the United States Government to be represented on the Control Commissions which have been or will be established to enforce the armistice terms.
