HC Deb 13 August 1913 vol 56 c2607

The provisions of the Post Office Act, 1908, relating to the registration of newspapers and registered newspapers shall apply to publications printed and published in a British possession or protectorate as they apply to publications printed and published in the British Islands, and accordingly paragraph (a) of Sub-section (1) of Section twenty of the Post Office Act, 1908 (which relates to the publications which may be registered as a newspaper), shall be read as if the words "or in some British possession or protectorate" were inserted after the words, "in the British Islands":

Provided that the Postmaster-General may refuse to register as a newspaper a publication printed and published in a British possession or protectorate, unless arrangements have been made to his satisfaction for maintaining a responsible representative of the publication in the United Kingdom.

Lords Amendment: At the end of the Clause, add the words "For the purposes of this provision, the expression 'British Protectorate' shall be deemed to include the Malay States and Cyprus."

Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to.
