§ 55. Mr. Millanasked the Secretary of State for War if the statements made by Lieut.-General Sir Charles Jones, Commander of British Troops in Germany, at his Press conference on 18th January, were made with his authority.
§ Mr. Profumo:These statements were made to a party of journalists who were spending a few days with the British Army of the Rhine; some of them were made in the form of question and answer and it would not therefore have been practicable for them to have been cleared with me in advance.
