HC Deb 21 July 1930 vol 241 c1739
45. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether, following his recent interview with the Newspaper Proprietors' Association and the Institute and Union of Journalists, he proposes to take any action in relation either to the amendment of or future action under the Official Secrets Act?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I recently received a deputation from the Newspaper Proprietors' Association, the Newspaper Society, the Institute and Union of Journalists, and Press Agencies, in regard to the Official Secrets Acts. It was agreed that representatives of these bodies should meet the Attorney-General to discuss the questions raised in more detail.

Mr. McSHANE

Has this list of representatives been submitted to Lord Rothermere for his approval?
