§ 31. Mr. Nallyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now make a statement as to the reply 543 received from the Polish Government in the matter of the deportation order made against Sydney Stanley and indicate the nature of the action he now proposes to take to make such order effective.
§ Mr. EdeIn reply to the representations made to them the Polish Government have stated that Sydney Stanley is not entitled to Polish citizenship and that they are not prepared to issue a Polish passport to him. I cannot yet indicate what other action may be taken to enforce the deportation order made against him.
§ Mr. NallyWhile recognising what my right hon. Friend says, might I ask him if he will bear in mind the feeling of the overwhelming majority of the people of the country that the sooner we get rid of Mr. Stanley the better? Will he bear in mind also the torrents of abuse that were levelled against this country at our failure to allow Jews to enter territory supposed to be that of Israel, and the advisability on hygienic grounds of getting Mr. Stanley there as soon as possible?
