§ Sir R. Rossasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that owing to security precautions the public's know- 2038W ledge of actions in which British troops distinguished themselves is inadequate, particularly as to the names of the units engaged; and whether he is prepared to authorise the issue of brief official accounts of such actions in the near future.
§ Mr. LawsonThe security restrictions on the mention of particular units which were in force during the war were removed immediately hostilities ceased. The actions in which British units were engaged form the subject of commanders' despatches which are now in course of being prepared for publication, and in which a considerable amount of information about the exploits of particular formations, and in some cases of units, will no doubt appear.
