§ 1. Colonel Sir C. YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the entry into India of the newspaper called the "Vanguard of Indian Independence," lately referred to in the Press, has been prohibited in India, and, if not, why not; and whether extracts from this paper, which is said to be Bolshevist in tone, are allowed to be published in the Indian Press?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)The entry into India of the publication in question has been prohibited by the Government of India. If any of its articles are reproduced in Indian papers—a matter on which I can give no news—and if those articles offend against the law. I am satisfied that there will be no hesitation in prosecuting.
