Official denial that legislation already has been secretly enacted restricting the immigration of Jewish physicians and lawyers into Palestine was issued in the House of Commons today by Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secretary of State for Colonies.

Proposals for curtailing entry of Jewish members of the legal and medical professions are still being discussed in correspondence between Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope.
