HC Deb 25 July 1939 vol 350 c1232
27. Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give facilities to local journalists to visit the military camp now being constructed at Kinmel, North Wales?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I am informed that every facility has been given.

Sir H. Morris-Jones

Is my right hon. Friend aware that a journalist was refused admission to this camp, and in view of the general interest taken in our new Army and the fact that weekly newspapers are giving the new Army every support will he give every encouragement to publicity?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes, Sir. I readily recognise that the newspapers, and particularly the local newspapers, have given every support, and I am advised that the Press were granted facilities for visiting this camp, but I am glad that my hon. Friend has called attention to this matter and I will see that any defect is remedied.

Mr. Thorne

Will any Members of Parliament be at liberty to visit these camps at any time they think proper?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes, Sir.
