HC Deb 08 December 1937 vol 330 c375
37. Mr. T. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the educational and health services provided for the residents in the Jewish quarter of Jaffa have cost the municipality of Tel-Aviv some £15,000, but that these residents are not held to be taxable by that municipality; and whether he will arrange to have this matter investigated at the earliest possible opportunity, with a view to remedying the injustice involved in keeping these quarters under the jurisdiction of another municipality which does not provide them with essential municipal services?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I have no information about this matter, but I am asking the High Commissioner for a report.
