§ 91. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give an assurance that there will be no restriction of Jewish immigration into Palestine pending the investigation and report of the Royal Commission?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI would invite the attention of my hon. Friend to the full reply which I gave on 22nd July to the question by the hon. Member for Consett (Mr. David Adams), to which I have nothing to add.
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEIn assuring my right hon. Friend that I have seen that reply, may I ask him whether he is aware that it is indefinite with 1729 reference to the point at issue, and may I press him to give a definite statement to allay the great apprehension that exists in the whole Jewish community with regard to the immigration of Jews into Palestine?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIn my reply I made it clear that I could not give a definite reply. The matter has not been and will not be decided.
§ Commander LOCKER-LAMPSONAre not the Arab troubles largely subsidised from outside, and will my right hon. Friend in no circumstances take his marching orders from the castor-oil king of Italy?
