§ 34. Sir Percy Harrisasked the Prime Minister how far the terms of the Anglo-Italian Agreement have been carried out in Libya for the progressive reduction of Italian troops; and whether he has any information as to the total numbers now located there?
§ Mr. ButlerI would refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the hon. Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson), on 12th and 21st December, to which I have at present nothing further to add.
§ Sir Archibald SinclairThese reductions ought to have continued since then, and are they still continuing at the rate of 1,000 per month?
§ Mr. ButlerThis matter is receiving attention, and we are making inquiries. I cannot say more at present.
