§ 36. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any plans for an amended scheme of partition are in his possession, whether drafted by the Palestine administration or other persons; and what is their nature?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI have been informed of certain individual suggestions for modifying certain features of the plan for the partition of Palestine which is out- 1111 lined in Part III of the report of the Royal Commission. Pending the report of the new Commission, the whole matter must be regarded as sub judice and it would not be appropriate, nor would it serve any useful purpose, to discuss any suggestions that have been made.
§ Mr. ManderCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the so-called Wauchope Scheme or similar schemes are in any way accepted or binding?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI have not heard of any Wauchope scheme; in fact, I am sure there is none in existence. A suggested scheme is the Malcolm scheme.
