HC Deb 07 August 1940 vol 364 c237W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Information the purposes he had in mind in issuing pamphlets to ministers of religion; and whether he will place copies of all such printed matter in the Library?

Mr. Cooper

Since the outbreak of war the Ministry of Information has circulated a number of pamphlets intended to assist clergy and ministers in their war-time work. The pamphlets were issued by various publishing firms and are for the most part written by distinguished clergymen and ministers. The purpose of the pamphlets is to convey information, not otherwise readily accessible to the ordinary reader, regarding the moral and spiritual issues of the war. Most of them deal authoritatively with the Nazi attack upon Christianity. A set of the pamphlets his been placed in the Library.
