§ 20. Sir Herbert Williamsasked the Minister of Information whether he is aware that when it is desired to send to a unit of His Majesty's Forces in Northern Ireland gifts of a recreational nature the Postal and Telegraphic Censorship Department of his Ministry require, in duplicate, an undertaking of a character which has not been required in connection with similar gifts to serving members of His Majesty's Forces in any other part of the world; and the reason for this discrimination against His Majesty's Forces in Northern Ireland?
§ Mr. BrackenNo censorship permit is required for sending gifts to a member of His Majesty's Forces serving outside Great Britain provided that they are addressed to his unit. If a private address in Northern Ireland is used, the regulations applying to packets for civilians must be observed.
§ Sir H. WilliamsIs my right hon. Friend aware that in the case of a registered war charity, properly addressed, it was required to fill in a most elaborate document?
§ Mr. BrackenNo, Sir; I am not aware of these new facts.
§ Sir H. WilliamsIf I bring them to my right hon. Friend's attention, will he look into the matter further?
§ Mr. BrackenCertainly.
