3. Mr. Astorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will, in conjunction with the Minister of Information, take steps to inform the public of the background facts of the political, economic and social situation in French North Africa so that more informed judgment can be made on the present situation.
§ Mr. EdenI will certainly consider in conjunction with the Minister of Information what steps can be taken to give effect to my hon. Friend's suggestion.
Colonel CazaletIs there any censorship, part from the ordinary security censorship, of Press information between this country and the United States of America on the question of North Africa?
§ Mr. EdenThat is rather a wider question. I received a message yesterday that, so far as North Africa itself is concerned, there is now no political censorship strictly so-called. I should, however, like notice of the question.
