HC Deb 26 September 1939 vol 351 c1183
6. Sir George Broadbridge

asked the Secretary of State for War when it is intended to issue fuller communiqués regarding the Western Front operations, in lieu of the laconic ones at present being sent out, and thus save the public having to rely on versions given through the Press correspondents of other countries, which information is not known to be accurate?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The French G.Q.C. issue regular communiqués concerning operations on the Western Front. When the British Expeditionary Force is in action against the enemy, communiqués will be similarly issued.
