§ 36. Mr. JANNERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to give an assurance 1370 that the necessary improvements in storage facilities in the railway stations and ports of Palestine will be carried out by the forthcoming autumn, in time for the first shipment of citrus; and what is the estimated amount of the expenditure on this work for the current year?
§ Sir V. WARRENDERI have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend would refer the hon. Member to the replies which he gave to him on the 27th of February, and to the hon. and gallant Member for Coventry (Captain Strickland) on the 28th of February. It is proposed to provide considerable sums for the construction of storage sheds during the current year but the final figures are not yet available.
