§ 6. Mr. Woodsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether satisfactory arrangements have been made for the transport to the South American countries willing to receive them of the Spanish Republicans and other anti-Fascists who have been, or are to be, released from internment in North Africa; and the number who have already been transferred to South America?
§ Mr. EdenI understand that the Mexican Government have agreed to admit all Spanish Republican refugees in North Africa desirous of proceeding to Mexico. The necessary arrangements for the transport of these refugees are now being made as rapidly as possible, but there have not yet been any actual departures for Mexico.
§ Mr. WoodsHave all the men who were imprisoned or interned purely for anti-Fascist activities now been released, and will they be able, therefore, to take advantage of what facilities there are for transferring to South America?
§ Mr. EdenYes, Sir. This applies to Spanish Republican refugees. I understand that there are others.
