HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 cc1232-3
4. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a decision has now been taken on the disposal of men of the Polish forces in England who wish neither to return to Poland nor to join the Polish Resettlement Corps, thereby losing their Polish nationality.

Mr. Mayhew

I have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member's Question on this subject on 4th November.

Mr. Piratin

Surely the Under-Secretary has something to add to his replies on 4th November and in October? Cannot he tell the House whether there are any problems in the way, what they are, and if the House may have an opportunity to help him to decide the question?

Mr. Mayhew

This is a difficult question, dealing with those Poles who neither wish to join the Resettlement Corps nor to return to Poland. His Majesty's Government are doing everything possible to reduce the number of these men, and we are making perfectly clear to them that if they cannot make up their minds, they will have no further help from His Majesty's Government.
