HC Deb 11 July 1938 vol 338 cc938-9W
Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Prime Minister whether the Non-intervention Committee have considered the question of the passage of munitions of war to General Franco via the Portuguese frontier; and whether they have received any representations from the Spanish Government on the subject?

Mr. Butler

The Portuguese representative on the Non-Intervention Committee has stated that the Portuguese Government will restore the facilities previously afforded to the British Observers on the Portuguese-Spanish frontier at the same time as facilities are restored to the International Observers on the Franco-Spanish frontier. I understand that the Committee have not had cause to consider this question except in the aspect which I have just mentioned and that no representations from the Spanish Government have been received on the subject.
