HC Deb 04 August 1902 vol 112 cc506-7
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Freeman's Journal, the Manchester Guardian, and the Daily News are now allowed to circulate in South Africa.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

I have no positive information on this matter, but I have no reason to suppose that their circulation is prohibited.

CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork Co., E.)

Does that apply to the Cork Examiner?

MR. BRODRICK

I know nothing about that paper.

CAPTAIN DONELAN

Has the right hon. Gentleman seen the Report of the High Commissioner dated March last on this subject?

MR. BRODRICK

No, Sir. I do not know that such a journal has ever been heard of in South Africa.
