HC Deb 08 December 1937 vol 330 cc375-6
41. Sir John Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the undertaking given in Palestine that, in the event of the assassination of an official in the course of his duty, the question of a special award to his dependants will be sympathetically considered in the light of all the circumstances, has reference to all persons employed in the public service in Palestine, both civil and military?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

The undertaking refers to civil officers in the employment of the Palestine Government.
