The British Government attempted to impose total control on what was made public by law, abandoned the idea and put information control in the hands of the military - everything that published had their blessing.

Completely untrue.
Once again you, and Greg and all the creepy guests, are wrong and I am right.

The military had absolutely no control over the press.
More made up shit from the master!

There was no scrutiny before publication.
Papers could submit stuff for scrutiny, but did not have to.

If the government believed the law to have been broken they would have to prove it in court, and that never happened.

The press could and did launch fierce attacks on government and policy.

Proof of all that is in THE LINK THAT YOU PROVIDED!
