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. rdf:langString
