HC Deb 20 April 1937 vol 322 cc1579-80
45. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an assurance that the report of the Royal Commission on Palestine will be made available to Members of this House in priority to any other bodies or persons outside the Cabinet?

The Prime Minister (Mr. Baldwin)

The hon. Member will realise that when the report of the Royal Commission on Palestine is received it must be made available in strict confidence not only to Members of the Cabinet but to various officials, but I can assure him that, in accordance with the usual practice, the report will be made available to Members of this House immediately on publication.

Mr. T. Williams

Are copies of the report likely to be made available to hon. Members before the Government have definitely reached their conclusion?

The Prime Minister

I shall be glad to have notice of that, but I think the answer is "Yes." Perhaps the hon. Member will put the question on the Paper. The report will be issued immediately.
