§ 52. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether he has any information to give the House as to the recent regrettable riots in Jerusalem?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave yesterday to a similar question by my noble Friend the Member for Hitchin.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODMay we take it the rumours from America, which have appeared in the Press, are entirely un- 1835 founded, and that it is not these riots which have caused the British Government to change their mind as to making Palestine a home of the Jewish people?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not think that there is any change whatever in our policy.
§ Major Earl WINTERTONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that on every occasion under Turkish occupation during the last 50 years there have been disturbances, and that it is only a matter of misfortune that they have occurred now?
