asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that Yermiyahn Mizrabi, ex-temporary additional constable, was seriously injured by a bomb explosion whilst on duty in the chief post office, Jerusalem, in 1939; that his applications to be readmitted to the force have been repeatedly rejected in spite of almost complete physical recovery; and that he receives a pension of only £116s. per month upon which to maintain himself, wife and nine children; and whether the Minister will have this case reviewed in order that this applicant may be re-enlisted as a supernumerary constable or have his pension increased to a reasonable sum?

I am asking the High Commissioner for a report on the case and I will communicate with my hon. Friend when it is received.
