HC Deb 05 August 1925 vol 187 c1335
8. Mr. MacKENZIE LIVINGSTONE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the increasing scale of military operations, and particularly aerial bombardment, in Morocco, and the suffering likely to be caused through lack of medical stores, he is now prepared to support the claim of the British Red Crescent Society to be allowed to supply the Riffs with such stores?

Mr. McNEILL

His Majesty's Government are not prepared to intervene in a matter respecting which it is entirely for the Spanish and French Governments to make a decision.

Captain BENIN

What is the status of the Riffs? Have they the status of belligerents?

Mr. McNEILL

No, I think not.
