§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the French and Spanish Governments have declared a blockade of the coast of Morocco; whether His Majesty's Government has received notice of this blockade; what is the extent of the area blockaded; and whether prize courts have been set up and, if so, where?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINAs I am informed, the Franco-Spanish agreement provides merely for the mutual policing of certain of their respective territorial waters and there is no question of declaring a blockade. The answer, there fore, to the first, second and fourth parts of the question is in the negative and the third part does not arise.
