HC Deb 05 May 1936 vol 311 c1546W
Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many instances of arms smuggling into Palestine have come to notice during the last two years; and whether he is satisfied that the measures taken by the Palestinian authorities to prevent such smuggling are adequate?

Mr. THOMAS

I have asked the High Commissioner for the information requested in the first part of the question. As to the second part, I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that all possible steps are taken by the authorities in Palestine to check this traffic.
