HC Deb 02 March 1938 vol 332 c1089
30. Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the new technical commission will proceed to Palestine?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I would refer to my reply to the hon. Member for South-West Bethnal Green (Sir P. Harris) on 28th February.

Mr. Adams

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is likely to be early or late? Will it be before the next General Election?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I said that the commission would meet first, in London, in the middle of March and would proceed so as to arrive in Palestine as soon as the Easter ceremonies are over.
