HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 cc222-3W
Squadron-Leader Hollis

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in view of the refusal of U.N.R.R.A. to transport 500 Polish children from the British zone in Germany to Eire owing to the objections of the Polish Provisional Government, the British Government will arrange for the transport of those children, or what is to be done with them.

Mr. J. Hynd

The offer of the Eire authorities to accept and care for a number of Polish orphans from the British zone of Germany was a generous one. The offer presented difficulties, transport difficulties in particular, but the matter is being re-examined to see if they can be overcome.
