HC Deb 29 July 1971 vol 822 cc166-7W
Q13. Mr. Latham

asked the Prime Minister how many D-notices have been issued since 18th June, 1970; and how many of these are still in force.

The Prime Minister

No D-notices have been issued since 18th June, 1970. Fourteen D-notices issued previously are still in force. Much work has been undertaken over the last two years by the official and press representatives on the Services Press and Broadcasting Committee to revise the present D-notices and to reduce the numbers to 12. General agreement has now been reached on the revised notices which it is hoped to issue in the near future.
