Answering a number of questions in the House of Commons regarding foreign nationals in Spain, the Foreign Secretary (Mr R. A. Eden) said: "Information has been received tnat the number of Germans who recently landed at Cadiz is about 5000. This information has come direct from Cadiz and Seville. I have not received any reports from other sources regarding the number of these men. "Information has also been received that there are large numbers of Italians serving with the forces in Majorca and large numbers of Russians and other foreigners fighting for the Government in Madrid. At my request, the chairman of the Non-inter-vention Committee read a statement to the sub-committee on this score, and urging most strongly that the committee should take the matter at once into consideration, and agree upon measures to put an end to this practice. As a result, the sub-commit-tee drew up a general outline of proposals for submission to the main committee, and these proposals were to be put into final shape at a further meeting."
