HC Deb 04 July 1918 vol 107 cc1828-9
12. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Home Secretary if a leaflet headed "Reality," printed by G. B. Dibblee, Windsor House, Bream's Buildings, London, E.C.4, is being widely circulated; that this leaflet deals exclusively with the present War; that it bears no imprint indicating either the author or the publisher; whether this leaflet was submitted before publication to the Press Bureau, under Regulation 27c of the Defence of the Realm Act; and whether any proceedings have been instituted against those responsible for the publication of this leaflet in violation of the provisions of the Regulation mentioned?

Sir G. CAVE

I am informed that "Reality" is a weekly periodical which was in existence before the 16th November, 1917, and Regulation 27c, therefore, does not apply to it.
