HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 cc23-4
47. Mr. Marples

asked the Prime Minister whether he intends to appoint a Royal Commission to inquire into the Press.

The Prime Minister

I am not yet in a position to announce the Government's intentions on this subject.

Mr. Marples

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the desirability of removing uncertainty and the undesirability of restricting the freedom of the Press?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir.
