§ Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any recent decision has been made with reference to the question of the admission of women to legal practice in Palestine; and the last date and with what result this matter was considered by the Palestine Advisory Council?
§ Dr. SHIELSThe matter was last before the Secretary of State in July, 1929, when it was decided in principle that women might be admitted to practise law in Palestine. I have no information with regard to subsequent developments.
