asked the Prime Minister whether, on the entry into force of the Anglo-Italian Agreement, he proposes to make any representations to the Italian Government concerning the presence of Italian aeroplanes and other warlike material in Spain?

The question of the presence of Italian war material in Spain is primarily a matter for the Non-intervention Committee.

asked the Prime Minister how many letters of protest have been sent by the Government in the past two years to other governments, including the insurgent authorities in Spain; and in how many cases satisfaction has been forthcoming?

The information requested is not readily available and would take a considerable amount of time and labour to collate. I regret that, in view of the present state of public business, my Noble Friend is not prepared to attempt to supply it.

asked the Prime Minister whether inquiries have been made from General Franco as to the reason for placing long-distance artillery to the west and south of Gibraltar; and, if so, what reply has been received?

No, Sir. The situation has been closely watched and His Majesty's Government do not consider it necessary to make any representations at the present time.
