HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 c224W
163. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reason the disarming of the illegal military organisations in Palestine, condemned by the Anglo-American Committee, has been discontinued.

Mr. Creech Jones

There is no question of discontinuing action against the illegal organisations and any further outbreaks of violence will be dealt with with the utmost vigour.
