HC Deb 18 September 1940 vol 365 cc145-6
13. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Information how many publications in the Polish language have been given permission to commence publication in this country since 1st July; and whether their contents are submitted to censorship?

Mr. Cooper

I am informed that six papers in the Polish language have been published in this country since 1st July. They are under no obligation to seek permission from His Majesty's Government, nor have they in fact done so. Their contents are subject to the same system of voluntary censorship as English newspapers.

Mr. Gallacher

In view of the character of much that appears in these papers does the Minister not consider it desirable to give some attention to them?
