Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total of the Jewish population at present in Palestine; and what percentage he estimates to be avowed terrorists and covertly associated with the terrorist campaign, respectively.

Mr. Creech Jones

In June, 1946, the most recent date for which figures are available, the Jewish population in Palestine was estimated as 595,000. I am unable to answer the last part of the Question.
