HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 c61W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the widespread dissatisfaction in Scotland at the concentration there of so many of our Polish Allies; if he will have regard to the social and economic consequences of this concentration; and if he will take steps in conjunction with other appropriate Ministers to have them transferred elewhere.

Mr. Westwood

I have had representations and seen statements in the Press expressing dissatisfaction at the presence of Polish troops in Scotland, but I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War that the numbers of such troops stationed in Scotland have decreased substantially. I am keeping in the closest touch with the other Ministers concerned as to the position.
