§ LORD DAVIESMy Lords, I beg to ask the question standing in my name.
§ [The question was as follows:
§ To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will give an undertaking that no new premises or commitments regarding the future of Palestine shall be entered into without prior consultation with all the parties concerned.]
VISCOUNT CRANBORNEMy Lords, while I would make it clear that there has been no change in the policy of His Majesty's Government with regard to 944 Palestine, the noble Lord may rest assured that His Majesty's Government will not enter into commitments regarding the future of that country without prior consultation with all those, including both Arabs and Jews, whom they may judge to be concerned.
