HC Deb 26 February 1947 vol 433 c2051
22. Professor Savory

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply he has received to his communication of 30th January with regard to the arrest of Madame Marie Marynowska, employed as interpreter at the British Embassy in Warsaw, who was carried off in the middle of the night by the secret police.

The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Mayhew)

No reply has yet been received by His Majesty's Ambassador to the Note addressed to the Polish authorities on 30th January, or to subsequent oral representations on his part.

Professor Savory

Is the House to understand that His Majesty's Government cannot protect an employee of the British Embassy in Warsaw?

Mr. Mayhew

We have sent a written note and have made oral representations. We have also expressed the hope that possibly this lady may be released under the Amnesty.
