§ 1. Captain Gammansasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if members of His Majesty's Embassy in Moscow and Press correspondents are now able to visit that part of Poland which has been liberated by the Russian Army.
§ 14. Major Lord Willoughby de Eresbyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of British and American reporters now in Poland.
§ The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Eden)Since His Majesty's Government do not recognise the Polish Provisional Government at Warsaw, no 1796 member of His Majesty's Embassy at Moscow has yet entered liberated Poland. A number of Press correspondents have been able to visit Poland since the New Year, but no British correspondents are now there.
§ Captain GammansIs my right hon. Friend aware that the good faith of the Yalta Agreement, to which His Majesty's Government are committed, is very largely dependent upon whether or not facilities of this sort are going to be permitted?
§ Mr. EdenMy hon. and gallant Friend asked whether a representative of His Majesty's Embassy in Moscow has gone and I explained to him that, as we do not recognise the Provisional Government, that cannot be. As regards Press representatives, we should very much welcome the very widest circulation of Press representatives.
