HC Deb 15 February 1922 vol 150 cc1012-3
76. Mr. RAPER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as stated in the Palestine Press, Messrs. Jabotinsky and David Yellin were implicated in the importation and smuggling of arms into Palestine through the port of Haifa?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have no knowledge of the Press reports referred to in the question. I am awaiting a full report on the incident from the High Commissioner for Palestine.

Mr. RAPER

Has the right hon. Gentleman's Department received any report at all on this question?

Mr. CHURCHILL

No, Sir; not according to my information.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is this the same Mr. Jabotinsky who took part in the raising of the Jewish Legion in the War?

Mr. CHURCHILL

It sounds very much like it.
