§ 116. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware of the resentment caused by the 279W publication in the "Daily Worker" newspaper of despatches from their correspondent serving with the enemy in Korea; and whether, in view of the fact that British troops are now fighting in Korea, he proposes to seek powers to prevent activities of this kind.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI can readily understand the strong resentment caused by the activities of the "Daily Worker" and its correspondent who is alleged to be in Korea. It is not proposed to seek additional powers but I must again observe that it must not be assumed that the law of treason does not apply to the present situation in Korea.
