§ 46. Commander Locker-Lampsonasked the Prime Minister whether the offer of British citizenship to Poles who serve with us will be extended to Norwegians similarly placed.
§ Mr. EdenIn his speech on 27th-February my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said that he hoped that it might be possible after consultation with the Dominions to offer British citizenship to any Polish troops who had fought with us who might feel themselves unable or unwilling to return to Poland. I am not aware of any need or wish on the part of Norwegians for special facilities for the acquisition of British citizenship.
