§ MR. MACNEILLI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether a censorship of the Press has been instituted by the Indian Government in Bombay and Poona; what are the terms and provisions of this censorship, and for what reasons has it been established; and whether this censorship owes its institution to the action of the Indian or the Home Government?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingI think the honourable Member must be under some misapprehension, for the law gives no power to institute a censorship of the Press.
