HC Deb 09 December 1908 vol 198 cc462-3
SIR JOHN KENNAWAY (Devonshire, Honiton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the re-appointment next session of the Parliamentary Committee which was appointed to consider, among other things, the subject of indecent literature, but which subject, presumably for want of time, is not dealt with in their Report of 29th July, bearing the title only of Lotteries and Indecent Advertisements.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL, Yorkshire, W.R., Cleveland)

The Secretary of State thinks the right hon. Member has been misled by the title of the Report. The Report deals with indecent literature, as well as advertisements, and he hopes it may be possible to introduce legislation on the subject next session.
