§ Mr. W. Shepherdasked the Assistant Postmaster-General, as representing the Ministry of Information, whether, in view of the fact that the total weekly circulation of Soviet Embassy publications in this country amounts to 135,000, whereas the British Embassy journals in the U.S.S.R. reach only 50,000, he will consider bringing about a parity between the issues in both countries by reducing the Soviet issue to the British level.
§ Mr. BurkeNo, Sir. His Majesty's Government does not intend to apply restrictive measures to the circulation of the Soviet Embassy's weekly publications in this country.
