HC Deb 14 July 1920 vol 131 cc2367-8
45. Mr. LUNN

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the sale of the "Daily Herald" has been prohibited in the German districts under British military occupation, and that newsagents there are unable to obtain it; and whether he will give instructions for the removal of any such prohibition?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am informed that the sale of the "Daily Herald" is not and has never been prohibited in the territory occupied by the British Army in Germany.

Mr. LUNN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that not only is the "Daily Herald" prohibited, but other newspapers circulating in the same area are prohibited from quoting articles which have appeared in the "Daily Herald"?

Mr. BONAR LAW

My information is derived from a communication received from the spot, and it is entirely contrary to the information received by my hon. Friend.
