§ 47. Mr. H. A. Priceasked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied that the instructions which, in reply to Questions in the House in June, 1947, he promised to give, in connection with the approval and display of subversive posters, have been strictly adhered to.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)I presume that the hon. Member is referring to an answer which I gave on 25th June, 1947. regarding complaints which were made about a poster issued in April of that year by the Bureau of Current Affairs. No complaints of the display of subversive posters have recently come to my notice, but if the hon. Member has any particular case in mind perhaps he will communicate with me.
§ Mr. PriceIs the Prime Minister aware that in April of this year the Secretary of State for War refused to accept from me a criticism of these posters? In view of that will he ensure that his instructions are carried out in accordance with his view, and not in accordance with the view of the Secretary of State for War?
§ The Prime MinisterThere is only one view on this matter and that is the view of the Government. If the hon. Member has any case perhaps he will bring it to my notice.
