HC Deb 16 July 1946 vol 425 c1045
52. Mr. Keeling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated cost to his Department of maintaining order in Palestine during the current financial year.

Mr. Dalton

No useful estimate can be framed since the course of events in Palestine cannot be foreseen.

Mr. Keeling

Could the Chancellor say how much expenditure in the last three months has been due to the rash promises made to the Jews by his party before they took office?

Mr. Gallacher

What about the hon. Member's own party?
