SPAIN. (Hansard, 12 March 1934)

§ 17. Colonel WEDGWOOD
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information to give as to the situation in Spain?

§ Mr. EDEN
As already reported in the Press, on account of serious labour complications affecting various trades, a decree was issued by the Spanish Government on the 7th March proclaiming "a state of alarm" throughout Spain. So far as His Majesty's Government are aware, no disturbances of a violent character have since then occurred.

§ Colonel WEDGWOOD
May I ask whether His Majesty's Government are making any representations in Spain on this question or whether they view with indifference the possibility of Spain following Austria? May I have an answer?

HON. MEMBERS
No.

§ Mr. SPEAKER
The Minister is not responsible for Spain.
