§ 76. Sir L. Lyleasked the Minister of Information whether his plans for removing unnecessary controls and restrictions after the cessation of hostilities in Europe are yet complete; and whether he can make any interim statement.
§ Mr. BrackenThe only control or restriction for which I am responsible is the operation of the censorship. There is no doubt that the cessation of hostilities in Europe will thin the tribe of censors.
§ Sir L. LyleCould we not discontinue the local censorship of letters, for instance, in what were the banned areas?
§ Mr. BrackenI hope that when the war is over the postal censorship will disappear out of the banned areas and all areas.
