HC Deb 31 May 1927 vol 207 cc203-4
37. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Palestinian Government is prepared to help the township of Tel Aviv with part of the cost of the housing scheme needed in the northern extension?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Amery)

Considerable financial assistance has recently been given by the Palestine Government to the local council of Tel Aviv. The question of giving further assistance is under consideration, but I cannot say what precise form such assistance, if given, would take.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the urgent need for housing accommodation there?

Mr. AMERY

Yes.
