§ Mr. G. LAMBERTasked the Home Secretary if he will direct the Censor to pass instructed comment on military operations by competent writers, even though such comment may be of a critical nature, provided that no information is given that is not already known to the enemy?
§ Mr. BRACEI am informed that the Press Bureau is careful to refrain as far as possible from censoring criticism of military operations; but it is not always possible to separate criticism from statements which are contrary to the Defence of the Realm Regulations, and the Bureau must have a discretion in the matter. I know of no grounds for issuing fresh instructions on this subject.
