HC Deb 25 May 1936 vol 312 cc1646-7
Mr. WATKINS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the 600 German Nazis, who recently visited Palestine for an eight-day tour, were required to deposit a sum of money; if Jews visiting the land of their ancestors are also required to deposit a sum of money; and, if so, the amount in each case?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

I have no information with regard to the party of tourists mentioned in the first part of the question. All travellers to Palestine may be required, at the discretion of the passport control authorities, to deposit a sum of £60 or a guarantee of a similar sum, as security for their departure from Palestine within the statutory period of a temporary visit.
