HC Deb 24 April 1940 vol 360 c223W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what applications for the approval of land sales to be made by Arab landowners to Jews in the prohibited areas have been received by the High Commissioner up to date?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Four such applications have been submitted and are now under examination. In three of these cases it is claimed that applications for registration had been lodged before the new regulations were published.
