HC Deb 25 February 1918 vol 103 c1120W
Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary which of the various Government Departments has authority to issue instructions to the Press Bureau; and whether instructions not officially emanating from any State Department can be issued by an individual in such Department?

Sir G. CAVE

The discretion exercised by the directors of the Press Bureau is subject only to the instructions of the War Cabinet and of the Home Office, but requests and commendations are made to the Bureau by other Departments. All such communications emanate from the Departments officially.
