LIFTING CENSORSHIP
FREEDOM FOLLOWING WAR QUESTION IN COMMONS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 12 The Minister of Information, Mr Brendan Bracken, was asked in the House of Commons whether in view of the existing control of all large channels of publicity, such as the British Broadcasting Corporation and large sections of the press, he would give an assurance that the Government would lift the restrictions at the earliest possible moment after the cessation of hostilities. The Minister replied: “Peace will bring nothing but unemployment for the censors, but I cannot accept the assumption that large sections of the press are under Government control. Except for restrictions essential to wartime security the entire press has kept its traditional freedom and shows no signs of weakening.”
