HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 c317
51 and 52. Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Prime Minister (1) what is the total percentage of gentlemen connected with journalism in the recent honours list; what is the percentage of viscounts, baronets, and knights, respectively, engaged or interested in newspaper services; (2) what is the total number of newspapers in which recent recipients of honours are interested as owners or otherwise?

Mr. PRATT (Lord of the Treasury)

The information desired by the hon. and gallant Member is public knowledge, obtainable by anyone who makes the necessary inquiries.

General CROFT

Are not the percentages rather high bearing in mind the Prime Minister's indifference to a "good Press"?
