§ 82. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Jews are excluded from the reformed Eastern Palestinian gendarmerie; if so, why; and what other police force it is intended to maintain in Palestine?
§ Mr. AMERYI am still in correspondence with the High Commissioner on the subject of the proposed new Frontier Force, but I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the subject. This force is to be of a military character and quite separate from the ordinary police forces for the maintenance of internal order and security in Palestine.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODMay we take it that Jews are not going to be excluded from the new force?
§ Mr. AMERYNot so far as I know. The matter is still under consideration. The new force will be largely concerned with Transjordania.
