HC Deb 29 January 1947 vol 432 c211W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken to impose a punitive tax on Jewish terrorists in Palestine to pay for damage, similar to that imposed on the Arabs during the Arab rebellion.

Mr. Creech Jones

No such tax has been imposed. The hon. Member will appreciate the difficulty of identifying those directly responsible for terrorism.
