§ Mr. AMMONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether British ships are blockading or have been used to blockade the Riff coast for any other purpose than that of preventing the traffic in arms with the Riff people?
Mr. DAVIDSONThe British ships referred to are not blockading the Riff coast, but are patrolling the waters of the Tangier International Zone, in conjunction with French and Spanish ships, in order to maintain the neutrality of that zone by preventing the import of arms and ammunition. They have definite instructions not to interfere with the import of Red Cross supplies.
