D-notice affair
The D-notice affair was a British political scandal from 1967, in which Prime Minister Harold Wilson accused the ''Daily Express'' newspaper of breaching two D-notices which advised the press not to publish material which might damage national security. When the newspaper asserted it had been advised of no breach, an inquiry was set up under a committee of Privy Counsellors. The committee found against the Government, whereupon the Government refused to accept its findings on the disputed article, prompting press outrage and the resignation of the Secretary of the D-notice committee.
==Background==
On 21 February 1967, an article in the ''Daily Express'' written by Chapman Pincher claimed that "thousands of private cables and telegrams sent out of Britain from the Post Office or from commercial cable companies are regularly being made available to the security authorities for scrutiny".〔Chapman Pincher, "Cable vetting sensation", ''Daily Express'', 21 February 1967.〕 According to the memoirs of Harold Wilson, who claimed that there were many inaccuracies in it, the story had come "from a disgruntled ex-employee of a cable company".〔Harold Wilson, ''The Labour Government 1964–1970'' (Weidenfeld & Nicholson and Michael Joseph, 1971), p. 375.〕 The legal position at the time was that a warrant was needed under section 4 of the Official Secrets Act 1920, similar to that needed to intercept mail.〔"M.P.s will ask about check on cables", ''The Times'', 21 February 1967, p. 1.〕
