HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1289W
Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that there have now been five attacks on transport on the Jaffa-Jerusalem road near Givat Shaul within the last 10 days; will he allow the Jews using this road to carry arms; and will he also deal with the village suspected of the attacks by quartering upon it a police post?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I have no detailed information relating to the period to which the right hon. and gallant Member refers; but I understand that the question of measures to deal with attacks on this road has been receiving the special attention of the civil and military authorities in Palestine.
