20. Mr. David Adamsasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the receiver appointed at the request of the Italian Government to administer Abyssinian property in Jerusalem is still functioning; and will he now set that receivership aside in view of the relations existing between the British Government and Italy, and grant the same diplomatic rights and privileges as enjoyed by the Czecho-slovakian Consul to the Abyssinian Consul in Palestine?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. George Hall)The High Commissioner for Palestine reported in November last that the Palestine Government will not oppose any application which may be made by the Ethiopian authorities to the Palestine Courts to terminate this receivership. With regard to the second part of the Question, an inquiry is being addressed to the High Commissioner.
