POLISH RESETTLEMENT CORPS

HC Deb 03 June 1949 vol 465 c200W

Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for War the present position of the Polish Resettlement Corps.

Mr. Shinwell

The recommendation of the Select Committee of Estimates in their Fourth Report, Session 1948–49, that the Polish Resettlement Corps should be wound up at the end of September next has been accepted. Those Poles who are still in the Corps up to that date will become civilians and their resettlement a matter for the appropriate civilian Departments, who are now making the necessary arrangements.
