HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 c78W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the "Review of World Affairs," published by the Imperial Policy Group, now has an export permit and facilities to cable the text to Canada; that this publication recently falsely alleged that an official of His Majesty's Government in Ethiopia translated certain libels concerning the dynasty and government of Ethiopia and circulated these amongst Ethiopians to cause disaffection; and whether, as this publication persists in publishing libels respecting Ethiopia and concerning our ally Czechoslovakia and President Benes, he will now withdraw the export permit and cable facilities to Canada?

Mr. Bracken

I have been asked to reply. No export permit or special cable facilities are required to enable the "Review of World Affairs" or its text to be despatched from this country to Canada. His Majesty's Government have not accorded any special rates or facilities to this publication and certainly have no intention of doing so.
