HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 cc381-2W
Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Arabs have been found guilty of carrying arms in Palestine this year, sentenced to death and actually hanged; how many Jews have been found guilty for the same offence during the same period and how many have been actually hanged; and what are the comparable figures for 1936–39.

Mr. Creech Jones

I am asking the High Commissioner for Palestine to let me have the figures required and I shall communicate with the hon. Member as soon as I am in a position to do so.
