HC Deb 09 July 1918 vol 108 cc185-6W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the hon. Member for Sheffield (Central Division) whether he can make any further statement as to the food of our interned prisoners in Holland; and whether food parcels are now forbidden to them?

Mr. J. HOPE

This matter is being vigorously pressed by our Minister in Holland, in conjunction with the British delegates to The Hague Conference; but for the moment I can make no statement on the subject.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the hon. Member for Sheffield (Central Division) if his attention has been called to the June number of the "Groningen Camp. Magazine," in which there are large spaces which had contained censored matter; and who is the officer who censors such magazine, and under what authority?

Mr. HOPE

The censorship, if any, of this magazine is, of course, exercised in Holland, but whether by a Dutch or British authority I have not been able to ascertain. I am inquiring further into the matter.
