HC Deb 11 November 1941 vol 374 c2086W
Mr. McGovern

asked the Minister of Information whether his attention has been drawn to the delay in a registered letter posted in Eire, on 25th August, and addressed to Mr. Cahir Healy, M.P., and not delivered to him in Brixton Prison until 24th September, having been delayed in the Censor's office by examiner No. 5087; and whether he will see that this does not happen again?

Mr. Bracken

This letter was received in the Prisoners of War Department on 2nd September and was released on 22nd September. The delay was due to the necessity of referring it to another Government Department. Efforts are being made to reduce the delay in such cases in the future.
