§ 36. Major-General Sir Alfred Knoxasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects the revision of the general oil legislation of Palestine and Transjordan to be completed to enable permits to be granted for exploration?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThe revision is still under consideration, and I am unable to say when the new legislation will be enacted.
§ Sir A. KnoxWhen will this occur? It has been going on for years now. Surely the Government can frame legislation more quickly than that?
