HC Deb 07 April 1949 vol 463 c2199
38. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Education if he will now state what steps have been taken to enable a number of Palestinian Arab students whose families are no longer able to maintain them, to complete their courses in this country.

Mr. Tomlinson

I hope that a settlement of this matter will be reached shortly, and I will write to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Driberg

While thanking my right hon. Friend for what sounds like an encouraging answer, may I ask him whether he will be good enough to consider circulating a short statement in HANSARD, when the statement is ready, instead of writing to me, because there are a number of people who are interested in this matter?

Mr. Tomlinson

I will consider that suggestion.
