HC Deb 09 February 1933 vol 274 c376W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information as to the sale of land to Jews by Amir Abdullah in Transjordan and, in particular, whether the administration, whether in Transjordan or Palestine, has offered any objection to the proposal?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

It appears that negotiations have taken place between the Amir Abdullah and a Jewish group for a lease of certain land in Transjordan. I am now considering the matter, and I am not in a position at present to make any further statement.
