HC Deb 17 November 1947 vol 444 c137W
92. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the purpose of the censorship of all letters between this country and Austria; and whether he will arrange for its abolition.

Mr. Mayhew

The only letters still subject to censorship are those to and from the Soviet zone, together with those dealt with by the central Austrian post office in Vienna, which is under the control of the Four Power Inter-Allied Command.
