§ Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Information if he has considered the May issue of "The Vanguard," a copy of which has been forwarded to him, its claim to be read in every English speaking country, its offensive references to the U.S.A. and its statement that it is supplied to a public library in New York; and if, in view of the fact that this periodical specialises in fomenting racial 608W and religious intolerance, mistrust between the Allies and opposition to the war effort, he will withdraw its export licence.
§ Mr. BrackenLast August the Government decided to withdraw all existing export bans imposed for reasons other than military security. The decision was welcomed by many people as ending a policy only appropriate to the extreme crisis of 1940. I am unwilling to apply this policy again merely in order to deal with a periodical which, though scurrilous and anti-semitic, is certainly of very little consequence.
