More than 200 members of the House of Commons, representing all parties, today introduced a joint motion assuring the Government of their fullest support for all immediate measures “on a generous scale” to aid the hundreds of thousands of Jews in Nazi-held European countries. A similar motion was also introduced in the House of Lords.
Both motions urge the Government to secure temporary asylum for the “thousands of Jews threatened by massacre,” and to take all possible steps to this end “compatible with military and security requirements.”
