HC Deb 23 May 1916 vol 82 c1980
45. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether Portugal is receiving financial support from this country in her participation in the War; if so, to what extent; and whether he can indicate the directions in which the Portuguese Army and Navy are co-operating with the Allies?

The PRIME MINISTER

It would not be in the public interest to specify the precise part to be played by Portugal in defeating the common enemy, but the hon. Member may rest assured that the Portuguese Government are acting in the closest co-operation with His Majesty's Government.

Mr. KING

May I have a reply to the first part of my question?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir; I have nothing to add to my answer.
