Postal and Telegraph Censorship Department (Hansard, 22 September 1943)

HC Deb 22 September 1943 vol 392 c248W 248W

§ Mr. W. Brown
asked the Minister of Information why the Postal and Telegraph Censorship Department has been separated from the Ministry of Information?

§ Mr. Thurtle
The Postal and Telegraph Censorship has come to be an organisation with many complicated responsibilities, and it was considered that it would be more conveniently administered as a Department separate from the Ministry of Information under a Director-General directly responsible to my right hon. Friend.
