HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 c214W
Lieut-Commander Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the adverse vote of the Mandates Commission on the policy contained in the Palestine White Paper, he proposes to suspend the instructions issued to the High Commissioner in Palestine relative to Jewish immigration and the sale of land?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Pending the publication of the Report of the Permanent Mandates Commission I am not in a position to make any statement regarding it. But I see no reason to suspend the instructions which have been issued to the High Commissioner.

Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information of the destination of the 26 German-Jewish persons who, up to February, 1938, had been deported from Palestine since 1934, and of the reason of their deportation; and how many, for what reasons and to what countries, German-Jewish persons have been deported since February, 1938?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have not the in formation for which the hon. Member asks, but am asking the High Commissioner for a report.
