HC Deb 18 October 1945 vol 414 c1545W
Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the position regarding the municipality of Jerusalem; and how far all democratic arrangements for the running of this municipality have now been suspended.

Mr. George Hall

The Municipal Council of Jerusalem was dissolved on 11th July and a Commission was appointed to administer its affairs temporarily pending the result of an inquiry which has been undertaken by Sir William Fitz-Gerald. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a communiqué issued by the Government of Palestine.
