HC Deb 09 October 1940 vol 365 c383W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the technical and other aviation journals are still allowed to be exported to Germany?

Sir A. Sinclair

The position remains as stated in the reply given to the hon. Member on 24th April. No useful purpose would be served by restricting the export of British aviation journals. They are much esteemed abroad and they help to make known the high standard of British products.

Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is satisfied that the technical and other aviation journals, before export to Germany, are censored by persons competent to assess the value to the enemy of the military information contained in them?

Sir A. Sinclair

Yes, Sir. Before the export of such journals is permitted they are carefully examined by air advisers attached to the Postal Censorship.
