HC Deb 23 February 1948 vol 447 cc301-2W
103. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will instruct the British representatives at United Nations to point out to the Security Council the need for ensuring that adequate representation is afforded to Christian communities in Jerusalem in any constitutional arrangements which may be made for its future administration.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Constitutional arrangements for the future of Jerusalem are now being discussed by the Trusteeship Council. Our representative has been given no precise instructions but he is, of course, aware of the importance of the Christian communities and will bear this in mind in all discussions of the subject.
