HC Deb 05 November 1936 vol 317 c270W
Mr. E. SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any official or representative of the Government took action in any way to prevent arms intended for the Spanish Government from being conveyed to Spain prior to the arms embargo agreement?

Mr. EDEN

Prior to the Non-Intervention Agreement which, as my right hon. Friend stated on 29th October, was reached on 27th August last, His Majesty's Government, after reaching agreement with the French Government on 15th August, prohibited the export of arms to Spain from that date.
