§ 13. Sir KINGSLEY WOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now make a further statement as to the condition of affairs in Spain; whether martial law has now been raised; and whether the General Elections are still to be held at the end of the month?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe general situation in Spain has not materially altered since the 2nd of June, when I replied to a similar question put by the hon. Member for Colchester (Mr. Lewis). There is no general application of martial law, but the Spanish Government have been obliged to apply it locally from time to time to cope with disturbances which have arisen. The elections for the Cortes have been fixed for the 28th of June.
