HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 cc10-1
33. Captain WATERHOUSE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Palestinian townships of Rechoboth, Rishon le Zion, Tel Aviv, Petach Tikvah, and Cederah have been, with the sanction of the High Commissioner, formed into one Jewish municipal union; and, if so, if their governing body will be nominated by the High Commissioner or elected by the inhabitants?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part, therefore, does not arise.
