§ 96. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been drawn to the arrival of Fawzi ed-Din Kaukji at Lydda airport; and why and on whose authority he was permitted to depart freely therefrom for Egypt.
Mr. Creech JonesFawzi el Kaukji and his wife were passengers on a chartered aircraft flying from Paris to Cairo which arrived at Lydda at midnight on 22nd February and stayed just over an hour. They were travelling under an assumed name on a Syrian passport. Kaukji was on the special list for detention on entering Palestine, but owing to his disguised name and the absence of warning of his departure from Paris, he escaped the vigilance of the Frontier Control personnel at the airport.
