HC Deb 04 June 1934 vol 290 c575
5. Mr. A. SOMERVILLE (for Mr. HALL-CAINE)

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet received a report from the British Consul at Lisbon with regard to the recent arrest and unreasonable treatment of a British visitor to Estoril, Portugal; and whether he is satisfied that the matter will be suitably concluded?

Sir J. SIMON

His Majesty's Consul at Lisbon has reported that he has made representations to the local authorities and that the matter is under investigation. It is impossible at this stage to say what the result will be.
