§ Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make the appropriate representations to those concerned with a view to securing the release of Mr. Arthur Koestler at present detained at Malaga by the Spanish insurgents?
§ Mr. EdenMr. Koestler is not a British subject, but, in view of the fact that he was a correspondent of an English newspaper, His Majesty's Ambassador at Hendaye has already been instructed to inform the insurgent authorities unofficially that His Majesty's Government are concerned for his welfare and would be glad of information concerning his position.
