§ 59. Sir William Davisonasked the Minister of Information whether his attention has been called to recent complaints 1993 that criticism of the British Red Cross in letters between prisoners of war and their relatives in Great Britain have been blacked-out by the British censor; and in what circumstances, and by whose authority, has the action referred to above been taken by the British censor?
§ Mr. NicolsonImmediate inquiries into the suggestion made by the hon. Member are being instituted, and my right hon. Friend hopes shortly to be in the position to furnish a reply.
§ Sir W. DavisonCan my hon. Friend say whether any such instructions have been given by his Department?
§ Mr. NicolsonI should be very much surprised if any such instructions had been given with my right hon. Friend's approval.
