§ 82. Commander King-Hallasked the Minister of Information what are the arrangements for the co-ordination of the work of the Chief of Staffs Committee and the work of the Political Warfare Executive?
§ Mr. ThurtleThe necessary arrangements have been made, but my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate it would not be consistent with the national interest to disclose their nature.
§ Commander King-HallMay I ask my hon. Friend if it is in the national interest to inform me whether, if the Chief of Staffs Committee are planning a military operation in one part of the world, the Political Warfare Executive sit with them and plan a political campaign in the same area and at the same time to fit in with the military operations?
§ Mr. ThurtleI regret to say that I am unable to add to my original answer.
§ Commander King-HallIn view of the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I beg to give notice that I shall raise the matter on the Adjournment.
