Douglas Mackillop
Douglas MacKillop was the head of the Refugees Department in the British Foreign Office in the immediate aftermath of World War II. On 12 January 1946 he admitted that the Jewish Displaced Persons had a wide variety of reasons to seek to go to Palestine, but he still did not advocate ending the policy of the 1939 White Paper.
In the 1930s MacKillop had been on the staff of the Foreign Office for the Far East.[1] He had been involved in formulating British policy on the Balkans in the 1920s.
