HC Deb 08 August 1947 vol 441 cc218-20W
Mr. Bramall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why officials at Lydda Airport confiscated the passports of passengers of any nationality who could not prove that they were not Jews; and what test was adopted to determine whether persons not of Palestinian nationality were Jews.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have asked the High Commissioner for Palestine for this information and will write to my hon. Friend on its receipt.
