§ 24. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are taken by the Palestine Government to ensure reasonable living conditions at the Sarafend concentration camp?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI have no reason to think that there is any ground for complaint as to the living conditions at Sarafend concentration camp. Sarafend is a healthy locality where many British troops are ordinarily stationed. The plans of the camp are approved by the Director of Medical Services and the internees receive free rations on the scale approved by the medical authorities. Permission has also been granted to establish a canteen within the camp. Electric light and an adequate water supply have been installed. Among themselves, the internees enjoy full freedom of intercourse subject to orderly conduct, and facilities for daily exercise within the camp. Every facility is given for religious worship, and special arrangements have been made for combined prayer for Moslems on Fridays.
