HC Deb 17 January 1945 vol 407 cc148-9
31. Sir John Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent the Spanish Government has now complied with the terms of the agreement concerning Tangier and Spanish Morocco announced on and May, 1944.

Mr. Eden

I stated on 27th September in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend that the German Consulate-General in Tangier had been closed and its entire staff withdrawn. All the German agents resident in Tangier have since been expelled, but there remain some seven German agents in Spanish Morocco for whose expulsion we are continuing to press.

I should also mention that in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Japanese Military Attaché was withdrawn from Tangier.
