23. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement as to the present situation in Palestine?
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)I do not think that there is any general statement that I can usefully make at the present juncture. As the House will be aware, further acts of terrorism have been committed during recent weeks, details of which have been published in the Press. The local authorities, civil and military, are fully alive to the seriousness of the situation. Further measures for dealing with such offences as carrying arms, the use of arms, sabotage, intimidation and the like, are contemplated.
