POLICY. (Hansard, 10 May 1939)

§ 34. Lieut.-Commander Fletcher
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the outcome of the recent Palestinian Conference held in London?

36. Mr. David Adams
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any statement to make as to the progress of negotiations for a basis of settlement in the Palestine controversy?

Mr. M. MacDonald
A statement regarding future policy in Palestine will be presented to Parliament as a Command Paper in the near future.

§ Sir Percy Harris
Will it be before Whitsun? Can the right hon. Gentleman give some indication as to when it will be?

Mr. MacDonald
I cannot at present add to the statement I have made regarding the near future.

§ Mr. Mander
Is it not the case that this conference was, in fact, completely dominated by the ex-Mufti in the background?

Mr. MacDonald
No, Sir.
