HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 cc69-70W
Brigadier Rayner

asked the secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make available in the Library copies of the recent advertisements which have been appearing in the U.S. Press with regard to British policy in Palestine and in the Sudan, about which he has protested to the U.S. Government; and whether, as a result of these protests, any steps have been taken to prevent the continued circulation of these advertisements.

Mr. Mayhew

No protest has been made to the United States Government on the subject of an advertisement recently inserted in the American Press by the leader of an Egyptian political party. Representations have been made, however, as a result of advertisements sponsored by United States citizens and dealing with British policy in Palestine. A copy of the most recent of these, which contains words constituting an incitement to the murder of British troops and officials, has been placed in the Library. With regard to the last part of the Question, we are awaiting a reply from the United States Government.
