HC Deb 14 July 1915 vol 73 cc832-3
53. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Home Secretary having regard to the fact that the proceedings of Parliament are not censored, if he will say on whose authority the Irish Press was recently warned not to report a question asked by a naval officer in this House?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The notice to the Press to which the hon. Member calls attention had reference to a question which was withdrawn.

54. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Home Secretary in view of the statement made in India denying the accuracy of Admiralty reports, he will say whether there is any co-ordination in the work of the Home Censor and those in other parts of the British Empire?

Sir J. SIMON

I do not know what is the statement to which my hon. Friend is referring, and I should be glad if he would be good enough to supply me with it.

Sir E. CORNWALL

I will do so.
