asked the Prime Minister what arrangements have been made for collaboration between the Czecho-Slovak Committee on behalf of the Czecho-Slovak military authorities and the appropriate Anglo-Freneh mili- tary authorities when questions affecting the employment of the Czecho-Slovak forces are under consideration?

These Czecho-Slovak forces are being assembled and trained in France and an agreement was reached last October between the French Government and the appropriate Czecho-Slovak authorities in Paris regarding their reconstitution and employment. As the Prime Minister stated on the 24th January the Czecho-Slovak National Committee is already in touch with the competent departments of His Majesty's Government on the subject of recruiting arrangements for these forces.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many Czechs have joined up to date in this country?

I shall be glad to do so if I have notice.
