HC Deb 07 March 1934 vol 286 c1820W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the desirability of arranging for some units of the Mediterranean Fleet to be present in the vicinity of Tel Aviv during the currency of the forthcoming enlarged Levant Fair at that place in Palestine?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

I regret that essential Fleet movements make it impracticable for any units of the Mediterranean Fleet to be present off Jaffa between 26th April and 26th May, the period of the Fair.
