asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply has been received to the inquiries made by His Majesty's Ambassador in Warsaw regarding the delay in payment of the sum of £400,000 due to be paid on 31st March, 1951.

Mr. Younger

As I told the hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield (Sir J. Mellor) on 9th April, His Majesty's Ambassador in Warsaw has been instructed to inquire from the Polish authorities whether early payment may be expected. No reply has yet been received to that inquiry, nor has the money been received. His Majesty's Ambassador has been asked for a report on the position.
