12. Captain Alan Graham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can yet inform the House as to the result of his inquiries from the Soviet Government in regard to the arrest of the wife of the Polish Prime Minister and other Red Cross workers recently in Warsaw.

14. Mr. Stourton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any statement to make concerning the arrest in Poland of Mme. Arciszewska, wife of the Polish Prime Minister in London.

18. Sir Herbert Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has now received any report with regard to the arrest in Poland of the wife of the Prime Minister of Poland.

Mr. Eden

The Soviet Government have informed His Majesty's Ambassador at Moscow, in reply to the inquiries which he made upon my instructions, that to meet the wishes of His Majesty's Government they are taking steps at once to set Madame Arciszewska free.

Mr. Edmund Harvey

Has the right hon. Gentleman any information as to why this lady was arrested?

Mr. Eden

I have been given some but I thought, in the light of the conclusion of my representations, the House would think it wiser to leave it there.
