In these circumstances His Majesty's Government have now decided for cogent reasons that they must allow immigration to continue provisionally at the proposed rate of 1,500 a month. Preference will be given to those European Jews who have a special claim such as those to whom the Palestine Government have already undertaken obligations, and relatives in Europe of Jews already established in Palestine. Illegal immigrants will, of course, continue to be deducted from quotas."
The policy of monthly quotas regulating Jewish immigration and Arab and other immigration has continued from 15th December, 1945, up to the present time.
The number of Jewish immigrants to be admitted is 1,500 monthly whilst the number of Arab and other immigrants was, from 15th December, 1945, to the 14th September, 1946, laid down at 100 monthly and from 15th September, 1946, up to the present time at 200 immigrants monthly.
The certificates issued under the Jewish immigration account from 15th December, 1945, to 14th March, 1947, were as follows:-
Quota for fifteen months
Commitments under the White Paper Policy
22,500
790
Legal immigrants Illegal immigrants
7 ,721 13,989
22,500
The illegal immigrants deducted from the monthly quotas include those who have entered on immigration certificates ex detention camps in Cyprus (2,550) and 1,014 who were admitted as immigrants ex s.s. 'FEDE' and s.s. 'FENICE'.
