HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 c1236
7. Professor Savory

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now considered the deportation plan, forwarded to him by the hon. Member for the Queen's University of Belfast, in accordance with which 800,000 Poles are to be deported to the interior of Russia, involving practically the whole of the Polish intelligentzia; and whether, in view of the Yalta and Potsdam Agreements, he will protest to the Polish Provisional Government against this violation of the guarantee of free and unfettered elections.

Mr. Mayhew

I have no confirmation of this report. It appears to me an obviously fabricated propaganda story.

Professor Savory

Is not the hon. Gentleman aware that large numbers of Poles are already being deported, and have been deported, from the notorious prisons of Fordon in Pomerania and Wronki in Poznania to Russia? This is the beginning of the detailed scheme of which I sent a copy to the hon. Gentleman.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member seems to be giving information and not asking for it.
