§ Sir H. Williamsasked the Minister of Information whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the memorandum on the air-raid defences of Great Britain now being distributed to members of Ministry of information committees contains 170W matter which has been the subject of controversy from time to time in the House of Commons; and whether he will take steps to cease the circulation at public expense of documents which, in part, are a political defence of a Minister?
Mr. CooperI do not understand my hon. Friend's objection to this document, which has been distributed to members of the Ministry of Information's committees to assist them in answering questions on the subject of air raids. I can find nothing in it which can possibly be described as political defence of a Minister.
