HC Deb 27 April 1904 vol 133 cc1297-8
MR. JOHN CAMPBELL (Armagh, S.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the Post Office, 61,Trafalgar Road, Greenwich,displays in its window certain publications reflecting upon Roman Catholics; and. if so, whether he will take steps to ensure their removal. In putting the Question the hon. Member complained that the word "Roman" had been interpolated in it, and asked who was responsible.

* MR. SPEAKER

I do not know, but will make inquiries.

MR. JOHN CAMPBELL

I think it is a piece of gross impertinence.

MR. SPEAKER

That is not a proper observation.

LORD STANLEY

As soon as attention was drawn to the matter it was pointed out to the sub-postmistress (who is a stationer) that the exhibition of the publications referred to was undesirable in a shop connected with the Post Office, and she at once withdrew them.
