HC Deb 03 February 1937 vol 319 c1581
17. Mr. Touche

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can make a statement regarding the work done by ships in the Navy in rescuing refugees from Spain?

Sir S. Hoare

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Finchley (Mr. Crowder) on 11th November. Since then the number of refugees evacuated has substantially increased, but exact figures are not at present available.
