§ 9. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will institute an inquiry into the disabilities of women in Palestine, with a view to finding out how far the Moslem prejudices against women have changed as a result of the improvement in woman's status in Turkey?
§ Mr. AMERYNo, Sir. I do not think it desirable to suggest to the High Commissioner 788 that he should institute an inquiry of the nature contemplated in the question.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think it is desirable that we should introduce western ideas into Palestine just as much as it is desirable that Mustapha Kemal should introduce them into Turkey?
