HL Deb 06 November 1945 vol 137 cc729-30WA
LORD BARNBY

asked His Majesty's Government what is the weekly or monthly movement of displaced persons of Polish origin or nationality from the Russian zone of occupied Germany into the British zone.

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (LORD NATHAN)

No accurate information is available of the numbers of displaced persons of any particular nationality moving from the Russian to the British zone. It is believed that there is little such movement of persons of Polish origin or nationality.

LORD BARNBY

asked His Majesty's Government if regular postal communication with Polish territory is provided for displaced persons of Polish nationality at present in the British zone of occupation.

LORD NATHAN

Regular postal services are available between all Allied displaced persons located in assembly centres in the British zone of Germany and their next-of-kin in other countries. The Services operate in both directions, but next-of-kin may originate correspondence only after they have received their first letter.

House adjourned at a quarter before seven o'clock.
