HC Deb 12 July 1933 vol 280 cc1063-4
1. Mr. RANKIN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what has been the result of the representations made by His Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid in connection with the appeal of the owners of the British steamship "Datchet" against the fine of £2,200 imposed for a technical breach of the Spanish customs regulations?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)

Since the reply given to my hon. Friend on the 26th June the attention of the Spanish Ambassador has also been drawn to this case, but so far as I am informed, the appeal has not yet been decided.
