HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 c1052W
Brigadier-General Spears

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that permission to take documents, papers, books, newspapers or visiting cards out of this country has to be obtained from an office in Liverpool; and whether he will arrange a more central and expeditious means of obtaining the necessary permission?

Sir V. Warrender

The issue of permits is dealt with at Liverpool by a branch of the Censorship Department, which is located there. There is, however, a small office in London which deals with urgent cases, and an expansion of this is under consideration.
