HC Deb 25 July 1939 vol 350 c1274W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Prime Minister whether he will approach the German Government to make it clear to them that it is in the interests of civilisation and mutual understanding that exchanges of legitimate information and ideas should be encouraged with a view to securing facilities for wider exchanges of such a character as the news-letters whose publication in Germany has recently been brought to his notice; and whether he is aware of the circulation of similar communications sent from Germany to this country?

Mr. Butler

The attitude of the German Government towards the circulation of foreign news-letters and similar communications, as indicated in recent statements, leads my Noble Friend to consider that no useful purpose would be served by any approach on the lines suggested. His Majesty's Government are well aware of the circulation which similar communications from German sources are. receiving in this country.
