§ Colonel Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is satisfied that no recruitment of Spanish man-power for service with the Axis forces, under official or semi-official direction, is still taking place in Spain.
§ Mr. George HallI have no knowledge that any such recruitment has taken place for some time. I have, however, requested the observations of His Majesty's. Chargé d'Affaires in Madrid as to the continued presence of Spanish nationals with the German forces in the light of a recent report of the capture of two Spanish legionaries on the Russian front.
