§ Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what special instructions have been given to the police in Palestine to protect themselves against acts of violence or mob intimidation in the execution of their duties.
§ Mr. George HallThe police have been instructed to take all necessary measures for their own protection. As the instructions are rather lengthy, I will send the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
§ Mr. O'Brienasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that members of the Palestine Police Force on leave in Great Britain are required to pay out of their own pockets their railway fares from the port of arrival to their home towns; and whether he will consider altering this practice and making the warrant of those men coming on leave to this country available from their appropriate centre in Palestine to their home towns in Great Britain.
§ Mr. George HallIt was decided in April last to provide other ranks of the Palestine police coming on leave to this country with free transport from the port of arrival to their home towns and arrangements are now in force under which travel warrants are issued.
