§ Mr. Parkerasked the Prime Minister what is the area and population of the former Polish territory ceded by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to Lithuania; and what percentage of the population is estimated to be Lithuanian, Polish, Jewish and White Russian?
§ Mr. ButlerIt has been estimated that the ceded territory has an area of 6,800 square kilometres and a population of some 440,000. As its boundaries do not correspond with those of previous administrative divisions, it is not possible to quote offical figures for the racial composition of its population; but I have seen an estimate of 80,000 for those of Lithuanian race.
