HC Deb 06 July 1944 vol 401 c1287
6. Captain Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the fact that the ban on sending communications by Allied and neutral embassies and legations has now been lifted, he is prepared to amplify the communiqués issues by his Department concerning the location and results of bombing by pilotless aircraft.

Mr. H. Morrison

I take it that my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion is that there is a risk that such information may reach the enemy through diplomatic channels. Whatever that risk may be I do not think that that in itself affords grounds for the official publication of information which we know would be useful to the enemy.

Captain Gammans

Is the right hon. Gentleman not prepared to amplify the present type of communiqué, which merely talks about Southern England?

Mr. Morrison

I think if my hon. and gallant friend waits until the Prime Minister makes his statement he may get to know more about that matter.
