§ 15. Viscount ELMLEYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can make any statement regarding the claim of Mr. Brewer against the Portuguese Government?
§ Mr. EDENI am pleased to be able to inform my Noble Friend that this claim has now been satisfactorily settled by the award of £800 to Mr. Brewer by the Portuguese Government. I am glad to have this opportunity to express the appreciation of His Majesty's Government of the attitude adopted by the Portuguese Government both in making this award and in arranging the re-trial of the case against Mr. Brewer, as a result of which Mr. Brewer was eventually acquitted by the Supreme Court at Lisbon.
