HC Deb 13 June 1934 vol 290 cc1704-5W
Mr. D. ADAMS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has observed the Jewish protests over the inadequacy of the immigration quota at present in force in Palestine; and whether he will take steps to revise this quota?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

It has always been agreed that the responsibility for fixing the half-yearly quota of labour immigrants must rest with the High Commissioner for Palestine, who is in the best position to judge the economic absorptive capacity of the country.
