HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c227
56. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to wind-up the Ministry of Information or to place it on a care and maintenance basis.

The Prime Minister

This matter is under consideration.

Major Lloyd

Will the Prime Minister use his influence to ensure that the Ministry of Information is not used for the purpose of disseminating propaganda on behalf of Government Departments?

The Prime Minister

I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that it is not being so used.

Mr. De la Bère

Is this not an impediment to a free Press?
