§ Captain Pluggeasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction of various Kent newspapers that, on the occasion of the recent visit of Her Majesty the Queen to Chatham, outside photographers were 213W allowed to operate, while local photographers were excluded; and why it is essential to make this differentiation?
Mr. AlexanderWhen a Royal visit is to be made to an establishment coming under Admiralty control, it is customary to inform the Newspaper Proprietors' Association. This body, by agreement with the Press as a whole, then becomes responsible for making arrangements for the selection and attendance of Press reporters and Press photographers, subject to the limit in numbers necessitated by the occasion.
