§ Colonel DAYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether His Majesty's Ships "Worcester," "Wren," and "Whitehall," which have been ordered to Gibraltar, will be engaged on patrol duties off the coast of Morocco?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANBy Article 4 of the Tangier Convention of 1923, patrol of the territorial waters in the Tangier zone to prevent smuggling of arms will be carried out jointly by the naval forces of Great Britain, Spain and France. It has now been agreed between the three Powers that a patrol should be set up for this purpose and the details are being discussed in Paris. The three vessels referred to, together with His Majesty's Ship "Witch," have been ordered to Gibraltar and will form a force from which the patrolling vessels will be drawn. They will not patrol off other parts of the Moroccan coasts.
