HC Deb 21 December 1938 vol 342 cc2903-4W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the resolution, passed unanimously by the Circuit Quarterly Board of the Methodist churches in Greenock on 14th December, 1938, regarding further steps to be taken by the Government on behalf of Jews exiled from Germany, a copy of which has been communicated to him by the hon. Member for Greenock; and what action he proposes to take in connection therewith?

Captain Wallace

I cannot at present add anything to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for the Combined English Universities (Mr. E. Harvey) and the hon. Member for Dewsbury (Mr. Riley) on 24th November.

Mr. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can make a statement concerning the settlement of refugees in Tanganyika?

Mr. M. MacDonald

The Government of Tanganyika has ordered surveys to be carried out of the areas which offer the best possibility of settlement, and I am awaiting the results of those surveys. It will necessarily be some little time before the reports are received.
