HC Deb 20 August 1940 vol 364 c1153W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Information why sentences relating to war destroying natural resources, and the fact that working populations everywhere will be very poor after the war, were cut out from an Empire broadcast delivered by the Reverend Henry Carter from a Bristol Methodist church a few weeks ago?

Mr. Cooper

The B.B.C. asked the Reverend Henry Carter to withdraw the sentences as they gave an unbalanced view of the position in this country and might mislead overseas listeners. The B.B.C.'s policy excludes economic controversy from Sunday sermons
