§ 4. Mr. Prittasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that his Department recently supplied to the War Office, for publication in its "Weekly Review of Intelligence," a political review specially prepared by the Foreign Office to give officers a clear and authentic picture of political events, which contained a description of the Soviet demand for the opening of a second front as more persistent in its boring monotony than any previous one; and whether he will entrust the preparation of this review in future to some official who can be relied upon not to insult the Soviet Union in this fashion?
§ Mr. LawI would refer the hon. and learned Member to the answer given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War to the similar Question addressed to him on this subject. This represents the view of the Foreign Office also.
§ Mr. PrittWould the Minister be good enough to answer the last part of my Question, whether he has an officer who does not serve out such things as emanating from the War Office?
§ Mr. Neil MacleanIs it not the case that the Secretary of State for War referred in the last part of his reply to the fact that this document was not secret and thus lays greater stress upon the fact that, as the document is known, there cannot be anything wrong in publishing it?
