21. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information as to the destruction of the Migdal quarry and plant near Petach Tikuah by a large Arab band wearing uniforms or as to the other outrages on 13th December?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

I have seen a, report of the incidents referred to, but have not yet received any official confirmation. I will ask the High Commissioner for Palestine for a, report.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Seeing that this incident is not isolated, does not the right hon. Gentleman automatically get reports of this recrudescence of violence?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

It is rather curious. I usually receive reports of what is going on, but I have no reference to this particular question.
