Major Lloydasked the Secretary of State for War when the invalid homes for Poles discharged from the Polish Forces will be closed down; and whether the invalids still embodied in the Polish Resettlement Corps will be re-boarded and, if necessary, sent to the homes before they are closed.
§ Mr. ShinwellIt is assumed that the invalid homes referred to are three homes in England which were taken over by the Ministry of Health on the dissolution of the Interim Treasury Committee for Polish Questions. The two smaller homes have only limited facilities for treatment and it is proposed to close them within the next three months. The largest home will be retained as a Convalescent Home and administered in conjunction with hospitals which provide treatment for men invalided from the Polish armed forces. Invalids requiring long-term treatment are not accepted into the Polish Resettlement Corps.
