HC Deb 05 October 1944 vol 403 c1152W
Mr. Hynd

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government will now consider the desirability of immediate relaxation of the ban on civilian Press correspondents from Britain and other Allied countries in Paris, in view of the general anxiety of the British and Allied people for fuller current news and views on civil conditions and problems in the French capital, such as are not necessarily covered by reports of accredited war correspondents.

Mr. Attlee

This is a matter for the Supreme Allied Commander, who is at present engaged in discussions with the French authorities as a result of which the existing restrictions may soon be considerably eased.
