HC Deb 29 November 1961 vol 650 c47W
28. Mr. Teeling

asked the Lord Privy Seal what information he has concerning Mrs. Rozwadowska, a British subject, recently arrested in Poland; where she is imprisoned; and why she has been arrested.

Mr. P. Thomas

Mrs. Rozwadowska, who is a British subject of Polish origin naturalised in 1950, was arrested over two months ago when on a visit to her daughter in Poland. Repeated representations have been and are being made to the Polish authorities by Her Majesty's Embassy in Warsaw asking that she should either be brought to trial or speedily released. The Embassy were informed on 3rd November that no decision concerning a prosecution had yet been taken but that every effort would be made to expedite the inquiries. According to the Polish authorities she is in the Mokotow Prison in Warsaw and is well, but Her Majesty's Consul has not yet been allowed to visit her.
