HC Deb 05 November 1929 vol 231 c828
44. Captain E. N. BENNETT

asked the Secretary of State for War what expenditure has been incurred through the transport and employment of troops in connection with the recent riots in Palestine?

Mr. T. SHAW

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave on the 31st October to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald), of which I am sending him a copy.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is it not a fact that no troops would have been required if the late Government had not reduced the police forces?
