§ 46. Sir T. Mooreasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider trying to arrange a meeting of the Big Four in order to discuss and decide the future of Palestine.
§ The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)I have been asked to reply. No, Sir.
§ Sir T. MooreWhy do we continue to expose our soldiers and civilians to savage murder in Palestine for no apparent return except hatred from the Jews, distrust from the Arabs, and criticism from our Allies?
§ Mr. MorrisonThat is an expression of sorrow which I am sure we all share.
§ Sir T. MooreWhy do we go on doing it?
§ Mr. DraysonIs the reason why these discussions have not been allowed to take place because it is no longer the Big Four but the Big Three and a Half?
