HC Deb 26 April 1939 vol 346 c1168W
Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the resolution of the Jewish Labour Party in Palestine declaring that it is the right of every Jew to enter Palestine, and that they will defeat any attempt to stop them; and whether, in view of he serious international situation, he will seek the friendly co-operation of Jewish labour by suspending the immigration laws, on condition that the immigrants of military age join the British Army in Palestine?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have seen reports in the Press of the resolution referred to in the first part of the question. I am not prepared to adopt the suggestion made in the second part.
