HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 c1367
112. Mr. BUTCHER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the "Field" newspaper on 29th January last contained a supplement on the crimes of the German army containing much valuable information compiled from Lord Bryce's Report and from Belgian, French, Russian, and other official documents; whether he is aware that many copies of this supplement were posted in this country by private individuals for transmission to the United States but were stopped by the Censor in this country, and were not allowed to leave the country; and whether he can state the reason for this action on the part of the Censor?

Mr. TENNANT

I am informed that no copies of the supplement of the "Field" newspaper of the 29th January have been stopped by the Censor in the outward mails to the United States of America. Perhaps my hon. and learned Friend will be good enough to furnish me with the information on which he based his question.
