§ 2. Major NEWMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Italian Government have declared that as from 1st December all residential permissions for Italians of military age in France are void; and, to ensure equality of sacrifice among the Allies, what similar steps does our Government propose to take?
§ Lord R. CECILThe reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. His Majesty's Government are about to address certain proposals to the French Government regarding British subjects of military age in France, and I hope to be able shortly to inform the hon. and gallant Member of the steps which it is proposed to take.
