HC Deb 10 June 1918 vol 106 cc1873-4
60. Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the complaints generally made by military writers and commentators in this country as to their treatment at the hands of the Press Censor; whether he is aware that the deletions made by the Censor have the effect of distorting the meaning and significance of a balanced article; and, since the comments objected to can convey no information to the enemy and appear to be objected to rather for political than military reasons, whether he will take steps to modify the policy of the Government in this respect?

Mr. BRACE

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to a question on this subject on Wednesday last.

Mr. ANDERSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell us what he did say on Wednesday last?

Mr. BRACE

I do not know whether that is in order. I will furnish it.
