HC Deb 08 July 1943 vol 390 cc2284-5W
Sir A. Southby

asked the Home Secretary whether arrangements can be made for the true names and addresses of persons convicted of offences against the food regulations, and for black market offences generally, to be published in the Press?

Mr. H. Morrison

I know of no case in which the correct legal names and addresses of persons convicted of black market offences have not been disclosed in open court and thus made available to the public. My powers do not extend to dictating to the Press what material they should publish, but I have not observed any undue tenderness on their part to black market offenders.
