HC Deb 11 May 1915 vol 71 cc1476-7
67. Colonel YATE

asked the Solicitor-General why, considering that a descriptive account of the heroic action of the Canadian troops north of Ypres was recently published, permission was not granted for the publication of similar descriptive accounts regarding the part taken by the other units engaged?

Sir S. BUCKMASTER

No such accounts as those mentioned have been submitted to the Press Bureau, consequently permission for publication has neither been sought nor refused.

Colonel YATE

Will the right hon. Gentleman give permission in future? Does he not realise the importance and the necessity of descriptive accounts of the various units engaged?

Sir S. BUCKMASTER

I have not stopped them.

Colonel YATE

Will the right hon. Gentleman promise not to stop them in future?

Sir S. BUCKMASTER

When the hon. and gallant Member submits his descriptive account I will deal with it.
