§ Mr. DENVILLEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the fact that the Arabs are finding it difficult to form a delegation to visit London in connection with the suggested Palestinian legislative council owing to the Grand Mufti's hostility to the proposal, he will consider withdrawing the invitation?
Mr. THOMASI understand that the leaders of the Arab parties in Palestine have informed the High Commissioner that they do not think that it would be in the public interest for the proposed deputation to come to London at this moment. I see no reason for considering the suggestion made by my hon. Friend.
