Major Lloydasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will postpone the commencement of the demobilisation of the Polish forces until such time as free elections, promised to Poland by her Allies, have in fact been held to the satisfaction of the signatories of the Yalta Agreement of 1945.
