asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the proposed British military mission has yet proceeded to Lisbon; and, if not, on what date is it expected to proceed there?
It has been decided that a military mission shall visit Portugal in February, 1938, for the purpose of establishing personal contacts with the appropriate authorities and of reviewing matters of common interest. A fuller announcement on this subject will be published simultaneously in Portugal and in this country to-morrow.
