§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any Allied troops remain in Upper Silesia; if so, how many, and of what nationality or nationalities; when they will be withdrawn; and what is the general situation in the portion of Upper Silesia handed over to Poland under the award of the League of Nations?
§ Lieut.-Colonel STANLEYI have been asked to answer this question. The Allied troops in Upper Silesia consisted of eight British, eleven French, and eight Italian battalions of infantry, with ancillary units. It is anticipated that they will all be withdrawn at a very early date; some are now moving. As regards the last part of the question, no report as to the local conditions in the Upper Silesian territory handed over to Poland has reached His Majesty's Government.
