§ 97. Captain FOXCROFTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the opposition of the majority of the electors of Palestine to the undemocratic character of the present constitution of that country, His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of bringing the said constitution more into conformity with the wishes of the people?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to the hon. Baronet the Member for Darwen (Sir F. Sanderson) on the 15th March. I have nothing to add to the statement that I then made.
§ Captain FOXCROFTIs an Assembly of 11 members nominated by His Majesty's Government and 12 elected members in accordance with the self-government that was promised to Palestine in 1915 and 1918?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI am not aware of the promises to which the hon. and gallant Member alludes.
