HC Deb 31 July 1902 vol 112 cc277-8
MR. ROCHE (Galway, E.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for East Mayo, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the censorship regulations now in force in the Transvaal, Orange River Colony, and in Cape Colony; and whether he can state the names and qualifications of the censors in each of these colonies.

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

Censorship is now abolished, with the exception of a modified censorship on Press telegrams to and from South Africa, and on publications in South Africa. The answer to the second paragraph of the Question is in the negative.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

Are newspapers from this country now allowed to be delivered?

MR. BRODRICK

There was a censorship on newspapers for delivery in South Africa. I am not aware whether it is entirely removed.
