HC Deb 13 December 1948 vol 459 c100W
71. Mr. McAdam

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the financial responsibility of His Majesty's Government for the maintenance of Jewish detainees in Cyprus.

Mr. Creech Jones

Up to 15th May expenditure incurred on the Cyprus Camps was a liability of the Palestine Government. The question of liability incurred since that date will have to be determined in the light of developments in the Palestine situation, and I cannot anticipate the decision.
