Illegal Jewish Immigrant Camps (Cost)

HC Deb 22 April 1947 vol 436 c805

47. Mr. William Shepherd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what part of the cost of erecting and maintaining illegal Jewish immigrant camps falls upon the British taxpayer.

Mr. Dalton

None, Sir.

Sir W. Smithers

May I ask the Chancellor whether it would not be a good and a deterrent policy to impose a communal fine on all areas in which terrorism takes place?

Mr. Dalton

That is another question.
