HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 cc769-70
34. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Information what material or organisational aid is being given by His Majesty's Government to the newspaper "Dziennik Polski," published in London as the official mouthpiece of the Polish Government?

Mr. Cooper

Facilities have been given for the purchase by this newspaper of the necessary newsprint. Otherwise no "material or organisational aid" is being given by His Majesty's Government.

Mr. Gallacher

In view of the fact that this newspaper represents a Government that is carrying on war against the Soviet Union, does not the Minister consider it desirable to cut off all connection with it, in view of the claim made by His Majesty's Government that they are trying to develop friendly relations with the Soviet Government?
