§ 26. Sir Herbert Williamsasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the action of the censorship at Inverness in intercepting a letter addressed by a soldier to the hon. Member for South Croydon, and sending this letter to his commanding officer, who destroyed it; and whether he sanctioned the destruction of a letter which was his property until it had been delivered to the addressee?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonMy attention has been drawn to this matter. As I was duly authorised and directed to present this letter to the Censors, my responsibility for it ended when I had done so and the second part of the Question does not therefore arise.
§ Mr. MathersIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there has been criticism of the censorship at Inverness and the personnel in charge right from its inception?
§ Mr. MorrisonI am not responsible for the censorship.
