HC Deb 11 June 1968 vol 766 c24
Q1. Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Prime Minister whether the public speech made by the Lord President of the Council on 10th May at Aynho about the freedom of the Press represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Wilson)

The published portion of my right hon. Friend's speech to the Banbury Constituency Labour Party—and it is this which I imagine the hon. and learned Member has in mind—did not deal with matters of Government policy, Sir.

Sir Knox Cunningham

Is it really true that the Prime Minister has suffered from the Press " an orgy of abject and uncritical adulation", as the Lord President said? What does the Wonder Boy say?
