§ 32. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War whether arrangements have yet been made to send war correspondents to the Norwegian front; and whether, in view of the disadvantages which result from the absence up to date of any reliable reports of this campaign, he will ensure that, in connection with any future expeditions, arrangements are made for giving better and earlier publicity to such achievements of the British Forces as can be published without involving danger?
§ Mr. StanleyA small party of Press and news-reel men are at present waiting to proceed to Norway at short notice, and more will follow in due course. It is the policy to provide facilities for publicity as soon as circumstances permit.
§ Sir T. MooreWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for his reply, will he bear in mind that no news is not always regarded as good-news, and that we in this country can bear any amount of shocks provided they are giver, early and with descriptive accounts of what has happened?
§ Mr. CocksIn order to relieve anxiety in my part of the country, will the Minister say anything about the Sherwood Foresters?
§ Mr. StanleyThat is a different question.
