HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 c416W
Major Carver

asked the Minister of Information why, in view of the fact that other censors are able to mark out with indelible ink passages in newspaper articles sent abroad to which they object, his staff does not adopt the same process instead of cutting up the articles into fragments?

Mr. Cooper

The practice of excising rather than marking out with indelible ink objectionable passages in newspaper articles sent abroad was adopted by my Department as being more reliable and enabling a record to be made with less delay.
