The Ministry of Information (MOI), headed by the Minister of
Information, was a United Kingdom government department created
briefly at the end of World War I and again during World War II.
Located in Senate House at the University of London during World War
II, it was the central government department responsible for publicity
and propaganda. Headed by Brendan Bracken in July 1941 who
remained in office until victory was obvious.
The Ministry was responsible for information policy and the output of
propaganda material in Allied and neutral countries, with overseas
publicity organised geographically. American and Empire Divisions
continued throughout the war, other areas being covered by a succession
of different divisions.
For home publicity, the Ministry dealt with the planning of general
government or interdepartmental information, and provided common
services for public relations activities of other government departments.
The MOI was dissolved in March 1946, with its residual functions
passing to the Central Office of Information (COI), a central
organisation providing common and specialist information services.
