Britain is still giving serious consideration to the possibility of establishing a Jewish Brigade within the British is forces, it was stated in Commons today by Sir James Grigg, War Minister.

Denying a member’s charge that there has been undue delay in acting on the question of a separate Jewish fighting force, Sir James said that although he was not in a position to make a definitive statement at present, he hoped to do so in the near future.
