HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c240W
Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which European Governments are regarded by His Majesty's Government as determined to establish peace, order and democracy; by what methods His Majesty's Government propose to effect the policy of stamping out propaganda prejudicial to such Governments; and how this is to be reconciled with the policy of seeing that all parties in every country have facilities to express their views.

Mr. Bevin

Europe is in a state of flux and I do not propose to divide the various States into categories as is suggested. His Majesty's Government stand for freedom of expression, which sometimes takes the form of propaganda of varying kinds.
