HC Deb 06 July 1915 vol 73 cc178-9
7. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any war correspondents and, if so, how many, had been permitted to accompany the Expeditionary Force in France?

Mr. TENNANT

I would refer the hon. Member to the answers I have given him on previous occasions to similar questions. At present five representatives of the Press are at General Headquarters in France.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Is there a limit put upon the number of newspapers which can be represented?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, obviously there must be a limit.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Is that limit five?

Mr. TENNANT

I am unable to say without knowing. It depends upon the French authorities.
