§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe pledges made by the Powers referred to have been adopted by the Supreme Council. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative
§ Colonel WEDGWOODCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether this decision will involve a change in the military governorship of Palestine, and when it is likely that civil administration will be instituted?
