HC Deb 09 June 1915 vol 72 c257
47. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether the dutiés as Director of the Official Press Bureau, recently performed by the present Lord Chancellor, will be tarried out by the Solicitor-General?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will answer this question together with a private notice question which has been addressed to me by the hon. Member for Rutland (Mr. Gretton). The management of the Press Bureau will be undertaken by Sir Edward Cook and Sir Frank Swettenham as joint directors. These two gentlemen have been rendering most valuable service in an honorary capacity as assistants to the previous director. The Home Secretary will be responsible to the House for the Press Bureau.
