§ 17. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, having regard to previous acts of German submarines in Spanish neutral waters, he can state what action the Allies have taken in regard to the use of Spanish territory for warlike operations by the interned crew of U 56?
Mr. BALFOURHis Majesty's Government have made repeated representations to the Spanish Government drawing their serious attention to the necessity of taking the most stringent measures to prevent any violation of their neutrality by the crew of the U 56, and have in particular urged upon them the necessity of removing the commander of the submarine from Santander to a place of internment inland, and of preventing such actions as the charging of batteries on board the submarine.
§ Mr. PRINGLEHas the Government received any answer to that?
