HC Deb 04 December 1946 vol 431 cc93-4W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of his statement that the person referred to as "HAYYIM" in telegram No. 2 of Cmd. 6873 is Dr. Weitzmann, and the fact that it is known that "WLSLY" is Wellesley Aaron and "GSBR" Eliezer Kaplan, he will now state who NWBW is.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon Friend on 16th October, when I informed him that I was not in a position to state with certainty the identity of these persons and that to make public the various speculations on the subject might be unfair to individuals in fact not concerned.

Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the armed terrorists who were caught after murdering and wounding both Arab and British persons on 13th September and robbing the banks in Tel Aviv and Jaffa, will be brought to trial.

Mr. Creech Jones

Five of the persons arrested following this incident will be brought to trial on 10th December. Of the remainder, one was released after interrogation, and five are detained on the Emergency Regulations.
