§ Colonel Baldwin-Webbasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information in how many cases newspapers have offended against the Defence of the Realm Regulations since the beginning of September; and what steps have been taken to deal with such infringements?
§ Sir E. GriggThe prosecution of offenders against the relevant Defence Regulations is not a matter for the Minister of Information; but so far as my Noble Friend is aware, there have been no such prosecutions either before the transfer of responsibility for censorship from him or since that date.
