§ 29. Major Milnerasked the Minister of Information whether he will now publish for the information of world opinion, a list or catalogue of non-military objectives bombed in London up to the latest date considered desirable?
Mr. CooperNo, Sir. It is intended at the present stage to adhere to the policy of releasing for publication only the more notorious non-military objectives of importance which have been damaged or destroyed. The publication of a detailed list as suggested might well convey information useful to the enemy.
§ Major MilnerCould we not have a complete list up to whatever date is considered desirable of these notorious nonmilitary objectives? At the moment they are published in driblets, and would they not be more impressive if published in bulk?
Mr. CooperThe question of security must take precedence. I can assure the House that if Germany published a list of objectives, it would be of the greatest value to us.
§ Major MilnerWould the right hon. Gentleman publish a complete list of those non-military objectives of which particulars have already been given? That would be very valuable.
§ Major MilnerThe right hon. Gentleman is misunderstanding me. Would he collate and publish particulars of all those non-military objectives which have already been published?
§ Mr. SorensenWould the right hon. Gentleman do that regarding Berlin as well?
