HC Deb 13 May 1915 vol 71 c1824
Mr. KELLAWAY

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for War a question, of which I have given him private notice, namely: Whether the military correspondent of the "Times," Colonel Repington, is now staying at the British Headquarters and is sending dispatches to his newspaper which are censored by a member of the General Staff; is the arrangement within the knowledge of, or has it the approval of, the Minister for War; and is it proposed to grant similar facilities to other military correspondents and critics?

Mr. TENNANT

The Secretary of State has no knowledge of Colonel Repington's whereabouts.

Mr. KELLAWAY

Will my right hon. Friend ascertain whether special facilities are being given to this newspaper, and, if so, will similar facilities be given to other members of the Press?

Mr. TENNANT

I will make inquiries, but I can make no promises.
