§ 3. Mr. Priceasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether consideration will be given to reprisals against French forces supporting the Vichy Government who have been carrying out a systematic bombardment of Gibraltar recently?
§ Mr. ButlerThe hon. Member may be sure that we shall know how to deal with any further attacks by the forces of the Vichy Government.
§ Mr. PriceCan the Under-Secretary say whether these planes are French planes? Are they French planes coming across or German planes operated by German pilots coming from French Colonial territory?
§ Mr. ButlerI cannot add anything to what I have said.
§ Sir Irving AlberyAre we to take it that the Under-Secretary admits this bombardment of Gibraltar by French forces?
§ Mr. ButlerNo, Sir. It would be a pity to add anything to what I have said or to infer anything from it. There was a certain incident, and I have given a certain answer.
