HL Deb 16 December 1941 vol 121 c305
LORD STRABOLGI

My Lords, I beg to ask the question standing in my name on the Paper.

[The question was as follows:

To ask His Majesty's Government, whether in the reply given in the House of Lords on November 25 referring to the number of Palestinian Jews serving in His Majesty's Army, this included the number of Jews in Palestine who have enlisted in the R.A.F.; and, if not, whether they can state the number so serving.]

LORD MOYNE

My Lords, the reply to which the noble Lord refers dealt only with the number of Palestinians serving in various units of the Army in the Middle East. The High Commissioner informs me that at the end of October last the number of Palestinian Jews serving in the Royal Air Force was 1,585.
