§ 73. Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Home Secretary whether it is now the practice to censor all letters written to Members of Parliament by aliens in this country?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information (Mr. Harold Nicolson)I have been asked to reply. All letters of aliens, who are interned, are subject to censorship irrespective of the recipient. The letters of aliens who are not interned are not subject to any censorship other than that applicable to the public generally.
§ Mr. DaviesIf I told the hon. Gentleman that a letter which I have received from an uninterned alien was censored, would he then believe that this practice was going on?
§ Mr. NicolsonIt depends upon where the letter was received from.
