§ 6. Mr. MORELasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the French authorities in Morocco and Tunis refuse to recognise Maltese settled in those countries as British subjects; and whether Maltese have been conscripted for service in the French Army?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe measures taken by the French authorities in Tunis and Morocco (French zone) affecting the nationality of British subjects resident there have formed the subject of prolonged 1730 discussions between His Majesty's Government and the French Government, who have recently agreed to refer certain legal points arising out of this dispute to the Permanent Court of International Justice at the Hague. It is believed that no British subjects are at present being conscripted for service in the French Army.
Lieut.-Colonel J. WARDCan the hon. Gentleman assure the House that there are no Maltese or other British subjects serving in the French Armies as conscripts?
§ Mr. McNEILLI have just said it is believed that no British subjects are at present being conscripted for service in the French Army.
