§ 40. Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Fawzi el Kaukji is in Palestine, and as he is on the special list for detention on entering Palestine what steps have been taken to detain him.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsNo, Sir. Various reports have been received by the Palestine Government of the presence of Fawzi el Kaukji in Palestine, but I am informed by the High Commissioner that they have not been substantiated and that it is not believed that he is at present in the country.
§ Mr. JannerIn view of the fact that this man led a revolt during the war against Britain in Syria and in Irak, and was constantly attacking the Allied Forces, will my hon. Friend see to it that this man at least will be prevented from entering Palestine?
§ Mr. Manningham-BullerWould not the Under-Secretary of State agree that the best help in stopping this gentleman from being allowed to come into Palestine would be the cessation of the murderous attacks on British troops and Palestinian policemen by Jews?
