The Prime Minister was asked in the House of Commons by Mr. Arthur Henderson of the Labour Opposition whether, in view of the terms of the Anglo-Italian Agreement, any discussions were yet contemplated be: tween His Majesty's Government and the Italian Government as to what constituted the termination of the Spanish Civil War, The Prime Minister said that the Anglo-Italian Agreement did not provide for any such discussions.
When he was referred to the statement in the Italian press to the effect that the Italian Government did not propose to withdraw Italian troops until after a political victory in Spain, Mr. Chamberlain said, "The statements of the press do not represent the views of the government of any country." Mr. Henderson then asked, "Is it the belief of His Majesty's Government that the Italian Government will undertake to withdraw their troops as soon as the hostilities cease?" "Yes" replied Mr. Chamberlain.
