HC Deb 17 December 1947 vol 445 cc336-7W
19. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet decided to stop the censorship of civilian post in Germany; and whether he is aware that no less than 750 persons are engaged in this occupation in Hamburg alone.

Mr. Bevin

Routine censorship in the British zone of Germany, of internal and external mail, will cease on 1st March, 1948. The Commander-in-Chief may however, still consider it necessary to impose spot checks on certain correspondence.
