asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Arab Legion has twice attacked Jewish transport during the last seven days, at Yazur and at Beth Nabalah, killing 14 and wounding 10, and what action he proposes taking to prevent a recurrence of these outrages.

There is no evidence to suggest that any member of the Arab Legion took part in the incident at Yazur. The incident which occurred at Beth Nabalah is at present the subject of a court of inquiry, and my hon. Friend will not, therefore, expect me to comment on it until the findings of the court have been received.
