asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government still considers that Poland should have the right to extend her territory to the line of the Oder, including the port of Stettin, in accordance with the terms of the letter addressed in November, 1944, to the then Polish Foreign Minister by Sir Alexander Cadogan on the instructions of the then British Prime Minister; and whether it is still proposed to advocate these changes at the peace settlement.

As regards the first part of the Question, I would refer to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Swindon (Mr. T. Reid) on 24th November. As regards the second part of the Question I prefer not to prejudge the general examination of the question of Germany's future frontiers, which, I trust, will be carried out as a result of the present session of the Council of Foreign Ministers in London.

Can my hon. Friend confirm the version of the letter as published by the Polish Government and, particularly, the statement in that letter that it was sent on the instructions of the Prime Minister after consultation with the Cabinet?

In regard to the first part of the question, I have no reason to believe that that version is inaccurate. I should need notice of the second part of the question.
