(British Official Wireless.)

RUGBY, November 24.

Speaking in the Palestine debate, Mr. Herbert Morrison (Labour) said that the Opposition did not criticise the decision to call a conference of the Jews and the Arabs. He thought, however, that they should have some reasonable idea of the Government's policy, and asked for an undertaking that Parliament would not without consultation be committed to any agreement that was reached.

He suggested a further lifting of the restriction on immigration to permit a greater number of Jews to go to Palestine at once.

Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Liberal leader, pressed for favourable consideration of Dr. Weizmann's suggestion for allowing 10,000 Jewish children to enter where the same number of Jewish families was willing to take them.
