HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 cc171-2W
Major Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any newspapers or periodicals are printed in Roumania or Czechoslovakia in the languages of those countries under the auspices of his Department; what quantity of newsprint is provided for them; and at what cost to his Department.

Mr. Mayhew

No newspapers or periodicals are printed in Roumania under Foreign Office auspices. In Czechoslovakia a monthly publication "British Magazin" is printed as a private venture by a Czech firm who receive most of the material for its contents from the Central Office of Information and with whom editorial liaison is maintained by an officer on the staff of His Majesty's Embassy. Newsprint for this publication is provided by the Czech publishers.
