§ 46. Mr. Banfieldasked the Prime Minister whether he has approved of the 777 appointment of Sir Ernest Fass, the Public Trustee, to be the Director-General of the Ministry of Information to be set up in the event of an emergency; what will be the duties of this office; and what previous experience Sir E. Fass possesses in presenting propaganda in this country and abroad?
§ The Prime MinisterNo appointment has been made to such a post, and the second and third parts of the question, therefore, do not arise.
§ Mr. BanfieldCan the Prime Minister say whether, in the event of an appointment being made, the responsible Press quarters will be consulted? Will their views be obtained?
§ The Prime MinisterThat is a hypothetical question.
