§ 81. Mrs. Gouldasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that 248 illegal Jewish immigrants coming from 209W Poland, Hungary and other East European countries to Palestine, were arrested at Haifa and subsequently placed in a detention camp; and whether he proposes to send them back to the countries from which they have escaped or what does he propose to do with them.
§ Mr. Georģe Hall:Some 240 Jewish illegal immigrants were landed at Haifa on 26th March and transferred to the Athlit Clearance Camp for immigrants. Provided they pass the usual security check, they will be released in Palestine, and their number will be deducted from the immigration quota.
