HC Deb 10 April 1940 vol 359 cc548-9
15. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Prime Minister whether there has been any modification of the Anglo-Italian agreement relating to the number of Italian troops stationed in Libya; and whether he can state the number of Italian troops stationed there?

Mr. Butler

There has been no modification in the terms of the agreement. The information exchanged between the British and Italian Governments in conformity with Annex 2 of the agreement is confidential. I am not therefore in a position to give any figures.
