HC Deb 29 November 1961 vol 650 cc60-1W
104. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Maltese soldiers, sent for training to Libya and Cyprus, have hitherto been permitted to obtain from Malta the newspapers they require by a system of bulk purchases made in Malta, and that instructions have now been given that orders are not to be taken from certain ranks for certain papers supporting the Labour Party's policy; and if he will take steps to withdraw these instructions.

Mr. Profumo

No instructions of this kind have been given by the military authorities.
