HC Deb 08 March 1940 vol 358 cc731-2W
Mr. Denville

asked the Minister of Labour the number of medical boards for the examination of recruits which have been appointed, and how many chairmen of such boards have had experience in a similar capacity during any period of the past war?

and the Colonial Empire and certain neutral countries will be disposed of should the Allies be defeated; and, in view of the complete control over their Press exercised by the German Government, whether he will consider giving wide publicity to this German plan in order that our people may be aware of the precise character of any failure to carry the war to a victorious conclusion?

Sir J. Reith

Yes, Sir, my attention has already been drawn to the article in question. It is part of the task of the Ministry to make plain the consequences of a German victory to this country, to the Empire and to neutrals, and I shall certainly give wide publicity to the plans revealed in this article, together with other published material, as evidence of German intentions.
