§ 7. Dr. Segalasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what disturbances among the Arab population of Palestine followed the landing of 200 Jewish immigrants who penetrated the naval blockade north of the Port of Haifa on 16th November; and how many casualties resulted.
Mr. Creech JonesThere were no Arab disturbances consequent upon this landing of illegal immigrants.
§ Dr. SegalDoes not this fact prove that the policy of His Majesty's Government in sending out 100,000 British troops to 1964 Palestine, risking British lives and pouring out millions of pounds of British money, has been falsified by events, and that the majority of law-abiding Arab citizens in Palestine might even welcome a larger influx of Jewish immigration?
Mr. Creech JonesThat is a matter of opinion. I am afraid I could not accept the conclusion of my hon. Friend.
