HC Deb 23 November 1948 vol 458 c1077
51. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many Poles are receiving pensions and allowances from public funds other than through the Ministry of Pensions.

Sir S. Cripps

Three senior Polish officers receive pensions from Service Votes. About 11,000 Poles receive free maintenance in camps and hostels of the National Assistance Board and some others receive assistance allowances from the Board. About 2,700 Polish students receive maintenance allowances while attending British universities and technical colleges, the Polish university college and other Polish institutions of a similar type.
