66. Mr. Raikes

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will explain the relation between the postal and telegraph censorship and the censorship division of the Ministry of Information?

The censorship division of the Ministry of Information deals with the censorship of Press matter submitted to it before publication in this country and of Press matter being sent for publication abroad. All other mails, parcels and cable and wireless communications are dealt with by the postal and telegraph censorship.
