HC Deb 19 September 1950 vol 478 c203W
56. Major Beamish

asked the Attorney-General if he is aware that certain British newspapers have representatives with the North Korean Forces; and if he will take steps to forbid such contacts.

The Attorney-General

This question involves difficult problems both of international and municipal law to which the Government have been giving urgent consideration. Meanwhile, no one should be in doubt that the law of treason is applicable in connection with the present conflict. The activities of the only individual at present known to be with the North Korean Forces, as well as those of the newspaper he represents, are being closely watched.
