HC Deb 10 September 1914 vol 66 cc639-40
47. Mr. DOUGLAS HALL

asked the Prime Minister whether the extra officers attached to the staff of Sir John French for the purpose of increasing the information regarding the War will be permitted to send messages descriptive of the fighting which the public will be capable of understanding as often and as expeditiously as possible, or whether they are simply to be used for the purpose of compiling a military account of the War which will not be published until the end of the operations?

Mr. McKENNA

The Prime Minister has asked me to reply to this question. Yes, Sir. The purpose is to secure as far as possible the object mentioned in the first part of the question.
