§ Mr. BevinThe three Ambassadors to whom my hon. Friend refers are not in a position to report with absolute certainty on this subject but, broadly speaking, their reports, and reports from Germany, confirm what my right hon. Friend the Minister of State told my hon. Friend on 19th November namely, that so far as we can judge there have been very few expulsions from Czechoslovakia in recent times, and certainly the number from Poland has greatly diminished.
