§ 93. Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the advertisement of the Boyne Court Syndicate; whether he has any means of knowing how many letters are posted to this foreign address; and whether he is prepared to ask for legislative powers to enable him to intercept letters addressed to persons advertising gambling concerns?
§ Captain NORTONI have received several complaints respecting the advertisements issued by the Boyne Court Syndicate, but they have been sent in closed covers, and I have at present no power to interfere with the transmission of advertisements so sent. I am not in a position to state how many letters are posted addressed to this syndicate. As my right hon. Friend stated in his speech on the Post Office Estimates, he has under consideration the question of obtaining power to stop communications addressed to a business carried on abroad which, if carried on at home, would be illegal.
