§ Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Prime Minister what representations have been made to the French Government concerning the anti-British activities which the Mufti directs from Beyrout; and whether, in view of the intensive terrorism now in progress in Palestine, it is proposed to renew such representations?
§ Mr. ButlerI understand that Haj Amin is still being kept under surveillance by the French authorities in the Lebanon. Close contact has been and is being maintained with the French Government regarding his alleged political activities.
§ Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the ex-Mufti is still at Beyrout carrying on propaganda and stimulating Arab terrorism in Palestine; and what action is being taken by the French authorities to prevent this and maintain good relations between the two mandated territories?
§ Mr. ButlerI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave this afternoon to the hon. and gallant Member for Nuneaton (Lieut.-Commander Fletcher).
