§ 77. Dr. SPEROasked the Secretary of State for War the number of British troops employed in Palestine; and if these troops involve any addition to the total numbers figuring in the Army Estimates?
§ Mr. WALSHThe number of British troops employed in Palestine at present is 250 all ranks, excluding Royal Air Force personnel. A very small proportion of them may be regarded as added to the Army to meet requirements in Palestine, but for the most part they do not involve any addition to the total numbers shown in the Amy Estimates.
