§ 50. Mr. Loganasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that it is now over one year since the imprisonment of Cardinal Wyszynski took place; and if he will make further representation to the Polish Government for his release.
§ Mr. TurtonYes, Sir, I am aware of the position, which I deplore. The reply of my hon. Friend, who is now Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations, to the Adjournment Debate on 18th of December, formed the subject of a protest by the Polish Government. Her Majesty's Ambassador at Warsaw' rejected this protest and reiterated the views of Her Majesty's Government oil this persecution.
§ Mr. LoganRegarding the many millions all over the world who are interested in this case, and from the point of view of the peace of the world, is it not time that something more than a general remonstrance was raised? How about applying to the Russian Government; they are the main-spring; could not something be done there?
§ Mr. TurtonHer Majesty's Government have made their position quite clear, and will continue to press this strongly.
Mr. SilvermanWill the hon. Gentleman explain how he reconciles that answer with the answer his right hon. Friend sent to the Greek Government about representations regarding Cyprus?
