§ 37. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the civil and military authorities in Palestine now have power to seize all arms of whatever kind, whether in Jewish or Arab districts; and whether he is satisfied that these powers are being fully exercised.
§ Mr. StokesIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that, in the months immediately preceding the assassination of Lord Moyne, the military were prohibited from taking up arms dumps in the Jewish settlements; and will he assure the House that it is not the case now?
§ Colonel StanleyI shall be very glad, if the hon. Member has any evidence, if he will bring it to my notice.
§ Mr. StokesI certainly will.
