§ 28. Mr. RAPERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what control the proposed Legislative Assembly in Palestine will exercise on emigration?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe exact scope of the functions to be exercised by the proposed Legislative Council for Palestine is still a matter of discussion. I should prefer to make no statement on the subject for the present.
§ Mr. RAPERMay I ask if, at the present time, it is a fact that the majority of the residents in Palestine have no control whatsoever over emigration into their own country?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt certainly is the fact, and if the hon. Gentleman had followed the many Debates and discussions on this subject, he would hardly think it necessary to put forward such a query.
