HC Deb 05 June 1945 vol 411 cc723-4W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War if he has taken note of the resolution signed by war correspondents attached to the Second Army, protesting against the censorship of news about Nazi war criminals and recent events inside Germany; and if, now that the war in Europe has ended, he will initiate a reconsideration of censorship policy with a view to abolishing all restrictions on the transmission and publication of news and comment which are not essential to military security.

Sir J. Grigg

Censorship policy in North West Europe is still a matter for the Supreme Commander. He has very recently announced considerable relaxations.
