HC Deb 16 April 1940 vol 359 c809W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Home Secretary whether the same liberty of criticism is allowed to newspapers printed in the vernacular in Wales as is given to the English Press?

Sir J. Anderson

The answer is in the affirmative.

Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Home Secretary who now acts as censor for periodicals printed in Welsh, and what are his qualifications; and whether he has any connection with any Welsh newspaper?

Sir J. Anderson

The censor who is employed, and has from an early date in the war been employed, to censor any matter submitted by newspapers printed in Welsh reads and speaks Welsh fluently and is well qualified for the post by education and experience. He has no connection with any Welsh newspaper.
