This is consistent with F's understanding as conveyed to the Polish police during an interview he had with them on 24 May 2006 which was that she had been living abroad in England but visiting Poland.

The police record of interview is signed by M to confirm receipt of her identity card and I accept that she had gone to the police station voluntarily for the purpose of recovering that card.
