5. It is possible that, as a result of "Lifebelt", the enemy might obtain an increase in the small covert facilities which they at present enjoy in the Balearics. For example they periodically use the airfields as "emergency" landing grounds with the connivance of the Spanish authorities. It is possible that the Spaniards might connive at an extension of such facilities. Conclusion 6. We do not think that as a result of "Lifebelt" with Portuguese acquiescence, Germany would demand equivalent facilities in the Balearics, or if she did demand them that Spain would agree.
