HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c401W
Commander Bower

asked the Minister of Information why the news bulletins of the B.B.C. refer to the Polish frontier as the 1939 Polish border.

Mr. Thurtle

This seems to be a convenient phrase for use at a time when there is open public dispute between the Governments of the U.S.S.R. and Poland about the Polish eastern frontier. Many newspapers use the same phraseology and I see no objection to it. I understand from the B.B.C. that the term "Polish frontier" is also used on occasion.
