the British Government could not accept Nationalist General Franco's proposals, embodied in a Note which foresaw the neutralization of Almeria and which denied that any intentional bombings of British vessels had been carried out by Nationalist planes.
The Premier made his statement in the House today when Mr. C. R. Attlee, leader of the Opposition, asked him to make a declaration on the reply London intends to despatch to Burgos.
