HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c171W
Dr. Segal

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what criminal offence sentence was passed on Mr. S. S. Jacques Farchy, now at Gilgil Camp, Kenya, British East Africa; and what was the term of his sentence.

Mr. Creech Jones

Mr. Farchy was arrested under Palestine Defence (Emergency) Regulations on 16th January, 1947, and subsequently deported to Kenya on grounds of complicity in the activities of an illegal terrorist organisation. He has not been charged with any criminal offence and has received no formal sentence. His case, in common with those of other persons detained under these regulations, is reviewed from time to time by the Palestine Advisory Committee on Detainees, the president of which is a British judge.
