HC Deb 10 January 1916 vol 77 c1294W
Mr. MEAGHER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether letters, if any, passing through the Post Office from Ireland or Great Britain to France, Belgium or Italy are, or are liable to be, opened by the Censor; whether letters passing from one part of Ireland to another are, or are liable to be, opened by the Censor; and whether he will consider the advisability of issuing definite information to the public as to what letters or classes of letters are liable to be opened for censorship?

Mr. TENNANT

Detailed information on this point can hardly be given without detriment to the public interest. All letters are liable to be opened for censorship, but there is no discrimination between the various countries in the United Kingdom.
