HC Deb 30 June 1937 vol 325 c1946
20. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is proposed to consult the Government of the United States of America with regard to the future policy to be pursued in Palestine, in view of the treaty of 3rd December, 1924, between Great Britain and the United States by which the latter became a party to the agreement to establish Palestine as the Jewish homeland, and which included a provision in the first article that any modification in the mandate must be assented to by the United States?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

In considering the future policy to be pursued in Palestine, His Majesty's Government will, of course, keep prominently in mind any rights of the Government of the United States of America under the instrument to which the hon. Member refers.

Mr. Mander

Have any representations been received from the Government of the United States of America up to date?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

No, Sir. ROYAL COMMISSION'S REPORT.
