§ 20. Mr. George Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the letter sent by the Israeli Ministry for Foreign Affairs to the personal representative of the U.N. Acting Mediator in Tel Aviv regarding British troops in Transjordan and Palestine; and what reply he has made.
§ Mr. MayhewNo such letter has been brought to my notice.
§ Mr. ThomasIs my hon. Friend aware that it is alleged in that letter—he appears to be the only one not to have had notice of it—that British troops have moved into Transjordan? Would he give a flat contradiction to that statement?
§ Mr. MayhewI am aware of allegations to that effect, but I deny them.
