Northern (N): Poland (NP). Political Relations between Poland and UK

A file of correspondence and press extracts on Anglo-Polish relations. The file discusses a proposal from a British Labour M.P. to form an official Anglo-Polish Friendship Society, which would draw attention away from the existing communist-run equivalents; Foreign Office advice warning that such a body would soon be targeted by communist infiltrators; and the decision to form an Anglo-Polish Parliamentary Group instead, with members to be drawn from Labour and Conservative M.P.s. The file also contains a brief prepared for a British politician before his meeting with the Polish ambassador to London, Eugeniusz Milnikiel; a despatch on the foundation of a Polish-British Friendship Society in Gdansk; and a proposal from the British Foreign Secretary, Selwyn Lloyd, that he should visit Poland.
