§ Mr. RAPERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the Mixed Council of the Greek Orthodox Community in Palestine will be re-instituted; and if it will co-operate with the Commission of Financial Control in the sale of church property?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI understand that the Mixed Council of the Orthodox Community in Palestine is likely to be summoned during the coming summer. It is not proposed that the Mixed Council should be associated with the Commission of Financial Control. The task of the latter body has already been rendered difficult by the increase of its membership at the instance of the Advisory Council. Any further addition to its numbers would seriously hamper its efficiency.
