HC Deb 10 March 1919 vol 113 c942W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether use is being made of the cinema in the United Kingdom and elsewhere for the purpose of giving information as to peace terms in the same manner in which the Government of the United States is rising that agency in North and South America at the instance of the United States official committee on public information; and, if not, whether he will consider the advisability of taking similar or some such action?

Mr. C. HARMSWORTH

The Foreign Office is not responsible for propaganda of any kind in this country. With regard to the use of the cinematograph for propaganda abroad, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I returned to the hon. Member for Islington (S.) on 6th March.
