Mr. H. Hynd
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware of the new arrests of prominent Socialists in Poland; and if, in view of the provisions of the Yalta Agreement, he will instruct His Majesty's representative in Warsaw to protest to the Polish Government.
Mr. Bevin
Yes, I was aware of these arrests, which, although recently announced, took place last November. I deplore political arrests, but I do not think it would serve any useful purpose to address a protest to the Polish Government on this subject.
