The British Mandate for Palestine was finally confirmed in 1922 while the British had in anticipation already switched from military to civilian rule with the appointment of Herbert Samuel as High Commissioner as of 1 July 1920. The civil Mandate administration was formalized with the League of Nations' consent in 1923 following the ratification of the Treaty of Lausanne. Because of these delays, the Permanent Mandates Commission did not have it's first formal review of the Mandate operation until 1924 although the British had submitted interim reports directly to the League meanwhile.

The Permanant Mandates Commission created a questionnaire [1] detailing the matters that they expected to be covered in Mandate reports. Samuel travelled to Geneva in November of 1924 to explain Britain's policy, at that point being the Churchill White Paper of 1922.
