The Bill proposes, said Mr. Butler, to confer a positions corresponding to that of members of the Diplomatic Corps upon the members and senior of- ficials of the Allied Governments of Poland, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Pro- visional Czechoslovak Government, as well as lead- ers and senior officials of the Free French movement established in Britain.
