§ Commander Locker-Lampsonasked the Minister of Information in how many cases letters opened in course of examination for censorship have involved prosecutions for offences only discovered through the opening of these letters?
§ Mr. BrackenProsecutions in such cases are instituted by the Departments concerned, on information submitted to them, and not by the censorship. I have no information as to the action taken by Departments on the censorship submissions, and, in any case, I think it would be very difficult, in practice, to determine to what extent prosecutions are based on information contained in letters opened in censorship or on other available evidence.
