§ 14. Mr. Hewlettasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the universal desire of serving men to hear topical news about home and home affairs he will arrange with E.N.S.A. the despatch of two or three selected men or women expert in topical news and primed with the required information.
§ Sir J. GriggI agree with my hon. Friend that as much news about home as possible should be provided for troops overseas. It is not, however, the function of E.N.S.A. to do this. It is done partly through newspapers and broadcasting, and much attention is being given to increasing and improving the supply of topical news through these channels. In addition, news and general information about the home front are also being given to an increasing extent as a part of Army Education by means of "British Way and Purpose" pamphlets and A.B.C.A. discussions.
