HC Deb 20 March 1946 vol 420 c1852
23. Mr. Astor

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has considered the pamphlet, "Where to go in Tel Aviv," a copy of which has been sent to him; if he will inquire where this pamphlet was printed; and what steps the Government are taking to prevent this kind of propaganda in Palestine.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have seen the pamphlet to which the hon. Member refers and have addressed an inquiry to the High Commissioner for Palestine. I will inform the hon. Member as soon as I receive the High Commissioner's report.

Mr. Astor

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that there are a number of these pamphlets intended for the Middle East as Zionist propaganda and that they are published in this country presumably by Zionists here—theycould not be said to be published by Arabs—and will he look into the matter with a view to curtailing these activities?

Mr. Creech Jones

That is another question. The Question referred to a specific pamphlet and suitable action has been taken on that.

Mr. Astor

I think my hon. Friend might find that this pamphlet or one very similar to it is being published in this country.
