Britain will push Poland to introduce laws on Holocaust restitution, Foreign Secretary William Hague has promised.

The pledge came in a letter responding to dozens of British parliamentarians who had urged Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk to take restitution more seriously.

Mr Hague wrote: “We have a strong bilateral relationship with Poland. A proper and full resolution of these claims would serve to underline their national determination to play a leading role in Europe.”

He said the British embassy in Warsaw had regularly raised the issue with counterparts in the Polish capital.
