HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c241W
Mr. Bower

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if His Majesty's Government has protested to the Government of Poland against the atrocities inflicted on German women and children in connection with their expulsion from the newly-occupied Polish territories in Eastern Germany.

Mr. Bevin

I have urged the Polish Government to suspend all further expulsion of Germans for the time being, as they were invited to do by His Majesty's Government, the United States Government and the Soviet Government after the Potsdam Conference. The Polish Ambassador in London recently assured the Foreign Office, on instructions from his Government, that strict orders had been given to stop all further expulsions of Germans from Polish-occupied territory.
