§ Sir P. Hannonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare, if he is aware that Swedish liners are still loading in the Argentine for their home ports; and if he has any information whether Germany is granting navicerts for Argentine merchandise notwithstanding the breach of diplomatic relations between the Argentine and the Axis Powers.
§ Mr. FootYes, Sir. Swedish ships continue to sail between Argentina and Gothenburg. As regards the second part of the Question, navicerts are a purely British device, and are not issued by the German authorities. Germany has, however, permitted the voyages in question to continue, notwithstanding the breach of diplomatic relations between Argentina and the Axis Powers.
