HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 c54W
Captain WATER HOUSE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the religion and nationality, by districts and departments, of classified officials in Palestine?

Mr. AMERY

The most recent information on this subject at my disposal is a list showing religions but not nationalities of the officers of the Palestine Government as in March, 1923. These figures show that out of 2,560 officials, 1,244 were Christians, 678 Jews and 632 Moslems.

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in addition to the grants-in-aid, any loans have been made to Palestine?

Mr. GUINNESS

The answer is in the negative.
