asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the recent extension of the area of mandated Palestine at the expense of the Hejaz has been approved by the League of Nations?

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 6th July by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies to a similar question by the hon. and gallant Member for Leith. He will find very fully information in it.

Is it not a fact that Akaba was originally occupied by the Hejaz with the active co-operation of His Majesty's forces?

That question had better be addressed to my right hon. Friend.
