HC Deb 24 March 1948 vol 448 c3000
27. Mr. Chamberlain

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations he has made to Arab States receiving supplies of British war material in regard to its utilisation in connection with the Palestine dispute.

Mr. Bevin

The attention of the Arab Governments concerned has been drawn to the statement publicly made on behalf of His Majesty's Government that our commitments to supply them with military material will be reconsidered if we find that any of this material is being diverted to Palestine.

Mr. Chamberlain

Is my right hon. Friend satisfied that this is being observed?

Mr. Bevin

Yes, so far as I have been able to ascertain, it is.
