HC Deb 11 March 1941 vol 369 cc1127-8
3. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his inquiries have now been completed about the publication of an article on Armistice Day, printed in a magazine described as the "Chronicle," of No. 6 Non-Combatant Labour Corps; and whether he can make a statement?

12. Sir William Davison

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to the result of his inquiries regarding the paper described as "Chronicles," No. 6 Company, Non-Combatant Labour Corps?

The Secretary of State for War (Captain Margesson)

The magazine in question was edited and published by the noncommissioned officers and men of No. 6 Company, Non-Combatant Labour Corps. When the first issue appeared, it was found that certain of its contents, and in particular an article on Armistice Day, were of an objectionable nature. The distribution of the first issue was therefore stopped, and no further issues will be published.
