MR: LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State 34 for War whether he can now state why a cablegram sent on the 14th February last by Mr. Mackarness, chairman of the South Africa Conciliation Committee, to the South African News, Cape Town, recording a resolution passed at a Liberal Conference in London, was stopped by the Government Censor at Cape Town; and why no notice of its having been stopped was given for more than a fortnight to the sender.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe military authorities at Cape Town have full discretion to censor any telegram, and there is no intention to interfere with their exercise of that discretion.
