HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 cc1968-9
66. Mr. Astor

asked the Minister of Information whether he will investigate the circumstances in which a newspaper has been started in London in support of the Lublin Committee in spite of the assurances given that no paper would be made available for such a purpose.

Mr. Bracken

No licence has been granted for the publication of such a newspaper and no paper has been made available. The attention of the authorities administering the Control of Paper Orders has been called to the publication of one issue of a paper entitled "Democratic Poland."

Mr. Astor

Does that mean that no further copies of this paper will be published?

Mr. Bracken

I hope so, because, if a second copy is published, the editor lays himself open to proceedings.
