HC Deb 18 January 1944 vol 396 cc54-5W
Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a censoring officer dealing with the letters of a soldier written from India to this country struck out the word Fascism from a sentence referring to this war against Fascism; whether this was in accordance with his instructions; and whether he will make it plain to officers censoring letters in India that troops are allowed to assert that we are at war against Fascism.

Sir J. Grigg

The answer to the first part of the Question is No, Sir. This alleged action could certainly not be sup- ported by anything in military censorship regulations, and if the hon. and learned Member will send me sufficient particulars I shall be glad to have inquiries made.
