HC Deb 17 July 1929 vol 230 c406
4. Mr. ALLEN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether during the recent raid by Venezuelan bandits on the Dutch island of Curacao, the property of any British subject was damaged or destroyed?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

So far as my information goes the answer is in the negative.

Mr. ALLEN

Is not this raid an example of the results which follow an over-optimistic reduction of the Colonial defence force?
