(Mr. Attlee raised this question in the House of Commons on 8.3.37 in the following question:
"Has the noble lord any information with regard to an additional 10,000 troops from Italy having been landed in the last few days?"
VISCOUNT CRANBORNE: No, Sir.    The right hon. gentleman will be very unwise if he believes all he sees in the newspapers.")
8 March       Announced that the Committee on Non-Intervention had adopted a plan of control to prevent the landing of munitions and volunteers in Spain. This is to come into force on the 13 March.
A Council has been appointed of representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.
