International Committee for the Application of the Agreement Regarding Non-Intervention...

This series consists of the files of the International Committee for the Application of the Agreement Regarding Non-Intervention in Spain. It includes correspondence and memoranda of the Committee and its sub-committees.

Arrangement is by former file reference. The records of the Committee were filed in the EAC series of the Economic Advisory Council due to the fact that Mr Francis Hemming was secretary of both the Council and Committee, and used this series for administrative convenience.

The surviving records of the International Board, which operated an Observation Plan and employed observers, are in the custody of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

The Committee was set up in September 1936, following an appeal from the French Government for a pledge of non-intervention by other states in the Spanish Civil War. The move was supported by Britain and other countries, and it was agreed that a committee be established to administer the non-intervention scheme.

The Committee was based in London, with a British secretariat, provided by the Cabinet Office. The Committee met between September 1936 and April 1939, when it was wound up. It was decided that the records of the Committee would remain the property of the British Government.
