§ 12. Mr. Parkerasked the Prime Minister what guarantees he had been given for the evacuation of German and Italian troops and technicians from Spain; and whether he proposes to occupy Minorca and other strategic points until this evacuation is completed?
§ Mr. ButlerAs regards the first part of the question, I would remind the hon. Member that on 4th April, in answer to a question by the hon. Member for Jarrow (Miss Wilkinson), I stated that the British formula for the withdrawal of foreign volunteers had been accepted in principle by both the Italian and German Governments. As regards the second part of the question, I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave on 21st March to a question by the hon. Member for Broxtowe (Mr. Cocks).
§ Mr. ParkerDoes not the hon. Gentleman think it would be more desirable to have some concrete guarantees?
