The Crisis in Poland still looms over us, and I agree with the Lord Privy Seal that if the Soviet Union were to intervene by force we should have to say goodbye to any hope of detente for a long time.

With regard to the menacing Crisis in Poland, which inevitably is occupying a great deal of the attention of my right hon. Friend, does she recognise that the factors that prompted a generous approach by Western countries towards Poland's grave economic difficulties in the past under the previous Government do not obtain in the view of many of us in the present circumstances?

Dr. Glyn asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in considering his policy towards the Crisis in Poland, he would regard the use of Soviet troops already stationed in Poland in support of the Polish Army as a breach of noninterference by other nations.

Sir Brian Tovey, in an interview in The Sunday Times, which has already been mentioned, said:GCHQ did not operate at its peak efficiency during both the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the Crisis in Poland.

Those statements show the extent to which The Daily Telegraph was in error when, on 13 May, in a leading article, it accused the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of failing to encourage dissident groups in eastern Europe and of maintaining - it is almost unbelievable that The Daily Telegraph said this - a "stony silence" during the recent Crisis in Poland.
