BRITAIN AND SPAIN
QUESTION IN COMMONS. (Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, January 23. The situation in Spain is under the constant consideration of the British Government, which is in consultation with America and France oi\. the subject, said Mr. Bevin, in the Commons. “The British Government on all relevant occasions displayed its dislike of the present regime, which abetted our enemies, and has forcefully enunciated anxiety that the present regime should, by the activities of the Spanish people themselves, be superseded by a regime popularly supported. The British Government has in no way modified these views.” Mr. Wilkes: “Russia, China, Belgium, Holland, Norway and many other countries do not recognise the Franco regime. Will you not agree that where others have given a lead we should not be slow to follow?” Mr. Bevin: “It all depends on what lead you want. I am not going to be involved in diversionary tactics. I announced a policy to the House and propose to pursue it to the end.”
