HC Deb 25 June 1952 vol 502 cc173-4W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Defence if he will take immediate steps to rectify the lack of public information on military operations in Korea.

Mr. Birch

The British Press have been given facilities for reporting the progress of operations in Korea, and I do not accept the implication in the hon. Member's Question that they have failed to use these opportunities to inform the British public adequately on this matter. As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister stated in this House yesterday, statements will be made next Tuesday in both Houses.
