HC Deb 30 January 1951 vol 483 c706
16. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for War what troops of Polish origin, formerly commanded by General Anders, are at present quartered in the United Kingdom; what function they perform; and what plans are in hand for their future employment.

Mr. Strachey

Since the disbandment of the Polish Resettlement Corps on 30th September, 1949, no troops of Polish origin have been in existence in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Nabarro

In view of the Prime Minister's statement on defence yesterday, would it be the policy of His Majesty's Government to encourage the recruitment of trained soldiers of Polish origin and their being allowed to make a contribution towards national defence in this country?

Mr. Strachey

That is an entirely different question.
