§ Mr. T. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the recent resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the chamber of commerce of Tel Aviv and Jaffa, criticising the present financial burdens imposed on the port of Tel Aviv by the Government of Palestine; and whether arrangements can now be made to permit the revenue from this port to accrue to the port authority and to permit the municipality of Tel Aviv to make reasonable contributions towards its development?
Mr. M. MacDonaldMy attention has not been called to the resolution to which the hon. Member refers. As I informed him in reply to questions on the 18th May, I am awaiting a report from the High Commissioner, which I expect to receive shortly, on the financial arrangements connected with the port of Tel Aviv.
