HC Deb 02 May 1939 vol 346 cc1663-4
6. Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken, in view of the need for British troops in Egypt, to compile registers of Palestinian Jewish volunteers for service in case of war and to provide for their training and equipment; and whether he will consider securing the equipment locally, if necessary?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

This proposal is under consideration with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
