HC Deb 28 July 1933 vol 280 cc2979-80W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the proceedings by the High Commissioner in Palestine against some section of the revisionists in Palestine are being taken on the ground that they are an illegal organisation; and whether care will be taken not to imperil the absolute impartiality of the trial of Stavski and other revisionists by the introduction of this new issue?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have no official information as to the action taken by the Government of Palestine in this matter, but I will make inquiry of the High Commissioner. The second part of the question is not clearly understood: but I feel sure that the right hon. and Gallant Member would not wish to suggest the possibility of partiality in the judiciary of Palestine.
