HC Deb 03 April 1940 vol 359 cc148-9
16. Mr. Hannah

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider the compilation of a school text-book, for use in schools in Palestine, about the history of the mediaeval culture that resulted from close co-operation of Moslem and Jew in the Baghdad Khalifate and later in Spain, with a view to the permanent improvement of the relations between Arabs and Jews in Pales tine at the present time?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I will pass on my hon. Friend's suggestion to the High Commissioner for his consideration.

Mr. R. Gibson

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that in the remit a suitable reference is made to the importance of Scottish architecture?
