HC Deb 04 July 1940 vol 362 cc1041-2W
Mr. A. Bevan

asked the Minister of Information on what grounds the article by the military correspondent of the "Tribune" was withheld from publication last week?

Mr. Nicolson

The article was regarded as undesirable on the ground that its publication would be likely to endanger relations between this country and another country, with which we are not at war. I regret that owing to a mistake this was put to the editor as a censorship prohibition instead of as a suggestion.
