asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what further changes in personnel in the civil and judicial administration of Palestine it is proposed to make?

No doubt some changes will be necessary as a result of the recent Financial Commission, but I am not at present in a position to make any statement.

Will the hon. Gentleman say whether the judicial side is under review?

I am sorry that I am not able to add anything to what I have said.

Will the claims of Members of this House be considered when these judicial appointments are made?

May I ask whether the hon. Gentleman's attention has not been drawn to the fact that the Palestinian legal administration acted in defiance of the findings of the court, and whether he will make inquiries into this, and see that it is put an end to, as it is leading to considerable dissatisfaction?

No, Sir. My attention has not been called to that matter.
