It appears this war debt was partially voided.

The Government of The United Kingdom will make no claim for replayment of the Ł 73 million sterling, in respect of amounts spent on war material, equipment, supplies, etc, for the Polish Armed Forces in the West.

The Government of the United Kingdom will leave in abeyance at present the question of the repayment of the Military Credits amounting to a further Ł 47 1/2 million sterling, expended on the salaries and pay of the Polish Armed Forces in the West up to the 5 th July, 1945, but reserve the right to reopen discussion of this question.
