HC Deb 14 December 1938 vol 342 cc1973-4
15. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister what information has been received concerning German activities in Palestine either through German moneys passing through Damascus to Palestine, the printing of anti-semitic propagandist literature in Arabic in Germany for distribution in Palestine and Egypt, and otherwise?

Mr. Butler

I am not able to disclose the information which His Majesty's Government receive on these matters. It does not, however, bear out all the accounts which have appeared in the Press and elsewhere. Activities such as those to which the hon. Member refers would be a matter of serious concern to the Government.

Mr. Mander

May I take it from that answer that the Government have received information on this subject on the lines of the question I have put down?

Mr. Butler

I cannot accept that they have information on the lines of the question which the hon. Gentleman has put to me. As I always inform the House, the Government are very well informed on all subjects.

Mr. Callacher

Is there any chance of the House being as well informed?
