§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will inquire into a matter, details of which have been submitted to him, of a number of members of the Polish Resettlement Corps and of the Polish Combatants Association, Branch 317, now stationed in Essex, who have been separated from their families in the Middle East, East Africa and India since September, 1939; if he is aware that notwithstanding promises that their families would be brought to England, these promises remain unfulfilled; and if he will take steps to remedy this position.
§ Mr. MayhewAs was explained in reply to my hon. Friend, the Member for Wallsend (Mr. McKay) on 3rd June, a substantial number of Polish dependants overseas have already been re-united with their menfolk in this country. The question of the ultimate re-union of the remaining Polish families, either in this146W country or abroad, continues to receive the sympathetic attention of His Majesty's Government, and, subject to difficulties of transport, and especially of accommodation in this country, I hope that plans will soon be announced for the move to this country from the Middle East, East Africa and India of certain categories of dependants of members of the Polish Resettlement Corps.
