HC Deb 01 July 1931 vol 254 c1252
17. Mr. MARCUS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies when the appointment of a director of development for Palestine will be made; what his precise duties will be; how long his engagement will last; and the amount of his remuneration?

Dr. SHIELS

It is hoped to make an appointment in the near future. I expect to be able to give the particulars asked for when the announcement of the appointment is made.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Can the hon. Member say whether this director is to be an Englishman, so as to make a balance?
