§ Sir R. Gowerasked the Postmaster-General whether he can give particulars of the present arrangements under which Post Office officials intervene in private conversations when, in their opinion, information is being given about air raids and other matters which might be of use if it fell into the hands of enemy agents; whether this work is carried out by the ordinary Post Office staff or by special staff; under whose authority these activities are carried on; and whether the staff concerned have instructions to listen-in to and make notes of conversations other than those referred to?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonNo instructions have been issued to Post Office staff to intervene in telephone conversations except in so far as it is necessary for the proper setting up and timing of calls.
