HC Deb 26 July 1937 vol 326 cc2646-7
10. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any reports from His Majesty's representatives as to whether the shipments of iron ore from the British-owned mines in the Basque country are being despatched regularly?

Mr. Eden

I am unable at present to add anything to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to the hon. Member for South-West Bethnal Green (Sir P. Harris) on 22nd June, but I expect to receive a full report on this subject shortly.

Mr. Day

Has the right hon. Gentleman been informed that General Franco proposes to confiscate any of the shipments which he seizes?

Mr. Eden

That is a different question altogether.
