78. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Jews there are interned now in Cyprus; and what it is proposed to do with them when our mandate ends.

Mr. Rees-Williams

There were on 11th February, 29,006 Jews in the camps. Negotiations are proceeding with the United Nations Commission to arrange the clearance of the camps before our final withdrawal from Palestine.
