§ 12. Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Prime Minister upon what date the subject of the asylum granted to the Mufti in Syria last formed the subject of representations to, or conversations with, the French Government?
§ Mr. ButlerThere have been very recent conversations on this subject.
§ Lieut.-Commander FletcherDoes not the hon. Gentleman consider that the present state of affairs in Palestine, involving such heavy loss of life and heavy expenditure on troops and ship movements, would justify the reopening of this matter de novo by the British Government?
§ Mr. ButlerThat question has already been under discussion.
