§ Major GLYNasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to make any statement in regard to the terms on which a concession was granted by the Palestine Government for the right to extract chemical salts from the Dead Sea; and whether the work has been entrusted to a British undertaking, the rights and royalties being reserved for the benefit of Palestine and the liquidation of that country's debt to Great Britain?
§ Dr. SHIELSThe full text of the concession granted to Palestine Potash, Limited, was printed in Appendix II (pages 182–194) of the Annual Report of Palestine and Trans-Jordan for the year 1929. The names of the directors of the company were printed in Appendix II (page 226) of the report for 1930. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to these documents, which have been published by the Stationery Office as Colonial Numbers 47 and 59.
