§ 28. Mr. RHYSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the reported detention in Barcelona prison of Miss Edith May Court, of West Clandon, Surrey?
§ Mr. EDENYes, Sir. Miss Court was arrested at Barcelona on a charge of insulting the Spanish Government. She was tried on 13th July and acquitted, but I learn from His Majesty's Consul-General at Barcelona that the Spanish authorities intend to expel her from Spain as an undesirable alien. His Majesty's Consul-General has been constantly in touch with the Spanish authorities with regard to this case and has rendered Miss Court all possible assistance.
