HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 cc242-3W
Mr. Martin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent His Majesty's Government is committed to support at the Peace Conference the existing provisional frontier between Poland and Germany; and whether this support is in any way contingent on the adoption by Poland and other eastern European States of a social and economic policy which is calculated to promote both the welfare of the inhabitants of those regions and the peaceful economic development of Europe as a whole.

Mr. Bevin

His Majesty's Government are in no way committed to support the existing provisional arrangements at the Peace Conference. As regards the second part of the Question, the policies followed by the Polish authorities in the territories now placed under their temporary administration will certainly influence the attitude which His Majesty's Government will adopt in any eventual discussion of a final territorial settlement in these regions.
