HC Deb 18 February 1919 vol 112 c736
49. Mr. LINDSAY

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that the censoring of correspondence between the United Kingdom and the United States causes delays in the delivery of letters; if there is now any need to maintain a censorship; and, if not, will he take steps to have it abolished?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for South Down.

Mr. LINDSAY

If I send my right hon. Friend particulars of cases in which letters from New York were delayed at Liverpool for six days, will he have the matter considered?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I shall be glad to receive the particulars. We quite recognise the disadvantages considered from one point of view; but the advantages are greater.
