HC Deb 25 February 1924 vol 170 c21
29. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if British Press correspondents are permitted to reside at Moscow and send to British newspapers uncensored messages?

The PRIME MINISTER

Provided that they have obtained the necessary visa and fulfil the regulations, British Press correspondents are allowed to reside at Moscow. I am without information about the Press censorship, if any, which is imposed on foreign correspondents.

Mr. LAMBERT

What are the regulations? Can the Prime Minister tell us?

The PRIME MINISTER

If my hon. Friend will communicate with me privately, I will put them at his disposal as far as I can.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

How many British papers have applied already for representation?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think that question had better be put down.
