HC Deb 24 October 1935 vol 305 c346W
Sir P. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the supply of aeroplane engines to the Italian army by France after the embargo on the supply of munitions to both parties; and whether he will make representations, through the League of Nations, to the French government on the subject?

Sir S. HOARE

I have received no information on this subject which could be made the basis of representation to the French Government.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has made or will make any approach to the governments of Jugo-Slavia, Turkey, and Russia similar to that made to the French Government with reference to the use of ports and naval assistance in case of atttack by the League aggressor?

Sir S. HOARE

The answer is in the negative.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any and, if so, what nations in the League are prepared to stop the supply of petrol to Italy or to Eritrea; and whether the League has made any approach to the government of the United States of America on the same question?

Sir S. HOARE

I am not in a position to state the attitude of other Governments as regards exports to Italy which are not included in the recent recommendation of the Committee of Co-ordination at Geneva for the prohibition of the supply of certain materials. This recommendation did not include petrol. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
