Sir P. Hannon

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether he can assure the House that appropriate action has been taken by the Ministry of Information for the transmission to the Dominions and the Colonial Empire and to neutral countries detailed accounts of the part taken by the Royal Navy in the war?

Sir E. Grigg

Yes, Sir. As regards the transmission of this and other information to the Dominions and the Colonial Empire, I can inform my hon. Friend that a service of urgent Press telegrams to all countries of the Empire was introduced last week by Cable and Wireless, Limited, at the instance of the Ministry. Discussions have also taken place with Press representatives of neutral countries to facilitate transmission of news.
