§ The Prime MinisterI have some unsatisfactory news for the House about Somaliland. The small British holding force which was occupying the Tug Argen position to the North-East of Hargeisa has been driven back by greatly superior Italian forces, amounting to about two divisions, including armoured vehicles and considerable artillery. As 969 operations are still in progress, I cannot say any more, but I shall be dealing generally with the Eastern situation next week.
§ Captain BellengerMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether his statement on Tuesday next will be limited to the Eastern situation?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir.
