§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many Poles have been recruited for the British Army; what arrangement between our own and the Polish Government exists for the purpose of military and other training of Polish subjects; and what agreement or understanding exists between the two Governments in respect of military defence and obligations involved in membership of U.N.O.
Mr. Noel-BakerI understand that, according to the latest figures available, the number of Poles serving in the British266W Army is 679 ail ranks. No arrangements exist between His Majesty's Government and the Polish Provisional Government for the purposes of military or other training. As regards the last part of the Question, the hon. Member will be aware that the Treaty of Mutual Assistance of 25th August, 1939, between the Government of the United Kingdom and the Polish Government is still in force. So far as concerns obligations involved in membership of the United Nations organisation, I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leyton (Mr. Sorensen) on 22nd July, when he asked a similar question with reference to the Danish Government.
