§ 10. Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has made an official protest to the Government of France on the entry of the French warship "Agile" to the port of Fishguard without British approval, following the arrest of a French trawler for illegal fishing in British waters.
§ Mr. KershawNo, an official protest would not be appropriate. For visits such as that of the "Agile" permission is given automatically under long-standing arrangements, and any difficulties which arose out of this visit were minor and administrative.
