§ 52. Lord Apsleyasked the Prime Minister whether any arrangements have been made by His Majesty's Government in collaboration with the Italian Government to evacuate women and children from Abyssinia, Eritrea and Somaliland?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir. Any suggestions of this character should surely come from the Italian Government or from its commanders on the spot. It would not in any case be possible to interrupt the operations which are now in progress.
