HC Deb 07 July 1943 vol 390 cc2072-3
23. Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give an assurance that in the postwar schemes for reconstruction in Palestine there will be no interference with industrial development essential for expanding the sources of livelihood and for the absorption of new immigrants?

Colonel Stanley

The report, which is to be made by the Reconstruction Com- missioner, has not yet been received by the Palestine Government, and I cannot anticipate its contents. I am, however, sure that the plans for post-war reconstruction will be designed to encourage rather than to interfere with sound industrial development.
