§ 39. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will obtain a report on the possibility of allowing Jews to settle in Transjordan, or send out an independent committee to report?
§ Major GEORGE DAVIES (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. No, Sir. The possibility of the settlement of Jews in Transjordan must depend upon local conditions, as to which my right hon. Friend must be guided by the advice of the High Commissioner, who is unable to recommend the encouragement of Jewish settlement in existing circumstances.
