HC Deb 16 July 1941 vol 373 c585
26. Mr. Brooke

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the name of the senior officer appointed by him to the Ministry of Information to exercise responsibility for passing Admiralty news for publication, under the arrangement of 3rd July?

The Financial Secretary to the Admiralty (Sir Victor Warrender)

The official designation of the officer to whom my hon. Friend refers is "Naval Adviser to the Ministry of Information." I do not consider it desirable to give the names of individual officers charged with particular responsibilities.

Mr. Brooke

Can the Minister say, without disclosing the name of this officer, on what date he took up his duties with the Ministry of Information?

Sir V. Warrender

Not without notice.
