HC Deb 29 March 1928 vol 215 c1341
50. Mr. ERNEST BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that Press telegrams from Bagdad are being held up; whether there is a censorship; and, if so, whether it has the approval of His Majesty's Government?

Mr. AMERY

As far as I am aware, there is no censorship at Bagdad. I have seen statements in the Press as to the alleged detention of telegrams, and am in communication with the High Commissioner on the subject.
