§ 42. Dr. Littleasked the Minister of Information whether he will give instructions to the Censorship Department that letters addressed to London, or elsewhere in Great Britain, for Members of Parliament from Northern Ireland, will be delivered without being censored?
Mr. CooperThe partial exemption from censorship of their correspondence, which was conceded to Members of Parliament during the early part of the last war, was withdrawn with the acquiescence of the House in April, 1916, experience having shown to the military authorities the impracticability and danger of making any exceptions to the rule of examination. It is regretted, therefore, that no such instructions can be given to the censorship department.
§ Sir R. RossWhile not objecting to the censorship, could not letters come a little bit more quickly?
