HC Deb 03 February 1948 vol 446 c267W
106. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what arrangements exist for the supply of newspapers and periodicals to P.O.W. camps; what newspapers and periodicals are barred from these camps; and what steps will be taken to ensure that the prisoners have an adequate supply of both Left and Right shades of political opinion in the newspapers supplied.

Mr. McNeil

Newspapers and periodicals are supplied to prisoners of war camps under arrangements made by each camp with local newsagents. None are barred, but steps are taken to ensure that a balance is maintained between papers representing different political views. In addition, representative weekly periodicals are supplied to information rooms in the camps.
