HC Deb 07 February 1940 vol 357 c231W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has anything to report regarding the naval operations in the region of St. Helena, Ascension, and Tristan Da Cunha, respectively?

Mr. Churchill

No naval operations have taken place in the regions mentioned. His Majesty's ships may, of course, have been in the vicinity of these places from time to time during the course of their normal work of patrolling the seas.
