HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 c1422W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will indicate the rate of taxation paid by the Arab fellaheen in Palestine under the Turkish administration before the War and the rate at which they now pay?

Br. SHIELS

I have not the material that would enable me to draw an accurate comparison. I observe, however, that the point has been raised in evidence before the Commission of Inquiry, and it is possible that it may be dealt with in their Report.
