HC Deb 01 December 1927 vol 211 c735W
Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in granting any lease or concession for the working of the phosphate deposits in the Dead Sea, the Government will make it a condition of such lease or concession that the financial control of the undertaking shall always be in British hands?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Colonel Howard-Bury).
