HC Deb 20 November 1947 vol 444 c204W
72. Mr. Shawcross

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department for what reason has the granting of facilities in the public streets for Press reporting and photography of the Royal Wedding been delegated to the British Newspaper Proprietors Association.

Mr. Younger

My hon. Friend must have been misinformed. Cards which enable Press representatives to be identified by the police were issued by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis through a number of organisations and also direct to individual applicants not covered by those organisations.
