HC Deb 30 May 1946 vol 423 cc216-7W
29. Major Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that many Polish men, women and children, with close relations in the Polish armed forces in this country, are now in displaced persons camps in Germany living in cramped and uncomfortable conditions; that nearly all these people have endured extremes of physical and mental discomfort and been separated from their families for almost seven years; and whether he will give an assurance that, subject to the usual regulations, arrangements will be made to enable all such people who wish to do so to come to this country directly accommodation is available for them.

Mr. Ede

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 22nd May, in which he said that the ultimate reunion between the men of the Polish Armed Forces and their dependants now in Germany and elsewhere is receiving the attention of the Government and the steps which will he necessary to bring it about are now being studied.
