Mr. CHANCELLORasked the Home Secretary whether the statement of war 687W aims circulated by the Labour party was submitted before publication to the Censor; whether permission was given for its publication in accordance with Regulation 27 c; and, if not, what action he proposes to take in this matter?
§ Sir G. CAVEUnder Regulation 27 c as amended on the 21st of December, there is no question of obtaining permission from the Press Bureau. Strictly speaking, copies of this statement should have been submitted to the Press Bureau three days before its publication in leaflet form, but as the leaflet appears to comply in other respects with the Regulations it is not proposed to take any action in the matter.
