§ 10. Mr. GINNELLasked the Home Secretary if he will explain how it is that the censoring authority allows the publication of statements about the Archbishop of Malines being in prison, prevents in certain areas the publication of the truth on that subject, and also prevents the publication of any account of the imprisonment of the Archbishop of Lemberg in a Russian fortress since last September?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir J. Simon)As I stated on Tuesday last, the Press Bureau have not prohibited the publication of any statement with regard to the Archbishop of Malines. The original allegation, the German denial, and the repetition of the latter in the alleged interview with the Pope, have all been passed. I have no knowledge of the statement about the Archbishop of Lemberg, and the officers of the Press Bureau have no recollection of the case.
