§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Prime Minister whether the Arab executive were in any way consulted or an agreement reached with them before he wrote his letter to Dr. Weizmann?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs has already been explained, the letter deals only with the interpretation of certain passages in the Statement of Policy presented to Parliament in December last, which at once became the subject of misconception. It was not, in the circumstances, considered necessary to take the Arab executive into consultation in explaining and elucidating the policy already announced by His Majesty's Government.
