HC Deb 25 April 1918 vol 105 c1130W
Sir H. ELVERSTON

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the only newspaper printed in English which is generally obtainable in Stockholm and other large towns in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark is the "Continental Times," and that as this paper is printed and edited in Berlin and Hamburg it consistently misrepresents facts as regards the condition of affairs in England and the progress of the War; and whether, in view of the fact that many people, failing to recognise that the paper is of enemy origin, are seriously misled thereby, he will arrange for a wide distribution of British newspapers in the countries referred to?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The question of distribution of English newspapers in Sweden is receiving urgent attention. It is hoped to arrange immediately a proper and systematic distribution, though the difficulties of transport have to be overcome.
