HC Deb 28 March 1927 vol 204 cc840-1
14. Lieut-Commander KENWORTHY (for Colonel WEDGWOOD)

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any plans for the establishment of an English-speaking university, college, or degree-giving institution in Palestine?

Mr. AMERY

The Government of Palestine have not contemplated the establishment in that country of an English-speaking university, college or degree-giving institution. The Board of Higher Studies is, however, endeavouring to arrange three-year diploma courses and examinations of approximately the ordinary B.A. standard. The first intermediate examination will be held in July next.
