HC Deb 13 August 1947 vol 441 c253W
12. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what arrangements were made at Potsdam for the return of members of the Polish Home Army in the hands of the Russians; and whether this arrangement has been fully carried out.

Mr. McNeil

The Potsdam Agreement provided thatThe Three Powers are anxious to assist the Polish Provisional Government in facilitating the return to Poland as soon as practicable of all Poles abroad who wish to go, including members of the Polish armed forces and Merchant Marine.

The execution of this provision, so far as Poles in Russia are concerned, is necessarily a matter for discussion between the Polish and Soviet Governments, and I have no official information on the subject of its application to any particular categories of Poles.
