HC Deb 10 June 1942 vol 380 c1069W
Captain Graham

asked the Minister of Information whether, in order to discourage anti-Semitic feeling in the Near East and elsewhere and thus to deprive the Germans of opportunities for Nazi propaganda in this direction, he will take especial care in regard to the personnel staffing important posts in his Ministry?

Mr. Bracken

Character and ability are the qualities required of those who seek to join the staff of the Ministry of Information. In making appointments to the staff of this Ministry I cannot pander to anti-Semitic prejudice in the Near East and elsewhere.
