Sir P. Hannon
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will direct inquiry to be made through the United Nations organisation on the present conditions of the Holy Places in Jerusalem and at Nazareth and Bethlehem and convey the result to the House.
Mr. McNeil
His Majesty's ConsulGeneral at Jerusalem has been instructed to ask the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine for a report.
Sir P. Hannon
When does the right hon. Gentleman anticipate that he will get that report, and will he do all that he can to accelerate its presentation?
Mr. McNeil
Most certainly, but of course the Commission has other work than this, although I agree that this is work of great importance.
