HC Deb 27 April 1953 vol 514 c1740
21. Mr. Linstead

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the British authorities in Germany restrict the dissemination of news to the Press through official channels to a limited circle of correspondents; and what steps he is taking to bring this practice to an end.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

It is not the practice of the British authorities in Germany to restrict the dissemination of news through official channels to a limited circle of Press correspondents. The second part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.

Mr. Linstead

If I send my right hon. and learned Friend particulars of a case where this is alleged, will he be good enough to look into it?

Mr. Lloyd

Certainly.
