HC Deb 20 April 1943 vol 388 c1530
43. Captain De Chair

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to make any statement on the progress made with the formation of, and recruiting for, the Palestine Regiment?

Sir J. Grigg

As a result of the announcement I made on 6th August, orders were issued for the formation of the Palestine Regiment, which is now a unit of the British Army. I have at the moment nothing to add to the statement I made about it on 15th December in answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Bilston (Mr. Hannah).
