HC Deb 05 March 1918 vol 103 c1844W
Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Press has been prohibited from reporting the cessation of work in industrial centres over the food question for military reasons or in order to shield the Government from charges of maladministration?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No such notice has been issued to the Press, and so far as I am aware there is no foundation for the allegation that there has been any cessation of work because of the food question.
