HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 cc298-9W
95. Mr. Thurtle

asked the Attorney-General the name of the British newspaper which has had a representative with the North Korean forces, and the name of that representative; and whether the Government have now decided whether or not there is anything treasonable about the action of the newspaper in question and its representative.

The Attorney-General

So far as I am aware, the only newspaper registered in this country which alleges that it has a representative with the North Korean forces, is the "Daily Worker," the individual's name being Winnington. As at present advised, I do not propose to institute a prosecution for high treason.
