§ 16. Captain Alan Grahamasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the delay in bringing into effect the AngloItalian Agreement in regard to the Mediterranean, he will convey to the Royal Italian Government the reaffirmation of this country's loyal and abiding friendship for Italy?
§ Mr. ButlerAs the House is aware, His Majesty's Government have, in recent months, consistently given proof of their anxiety to re-establish on a solid basis the traditional friendship between this country and Italy, and I do not think that any such reaffirmation as is suggested by the hon. and gallant Member is needed.

§ The Prime MinisterThat is the same question in another form.
