HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1630
43. Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Home Secretary whether articles which have appeared in the Press may be reprinted and circulated without being submitted to the Censor and without bearing the names of their authors?

Sir G. CAVE

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. MACDONALD

May I ask why the answer is in the negative when the article has already been circulated?

Sir G. CAVE

It is quite clear that statements which have appeared in newspapers uncensored, if printed in leaflets must come under the Regulation.
