HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 c500W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Information whether, in view of the almost world-wide character of the observance of the Big Ben dedicated minute, he can arrange for leaflets to be dropped in Germany and in occupied Europe explaining its significance?

Mr. Bracken

I sympathise with my hon. Friend's request, but in order to drop these leaflets it would be necessary to displace other leaflets more vital to the prosecution of the war.
