YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has now received any Report from the Government of India regarding the censorship of cinema films; and if he can state what has been the result of the suggestions made for making the censorship in each place more efficient throughout India?
§ Earl WINTERTONMy Noble Friend is asking the Government of India to expedite their reply. I recognise the importance of the question of the efficiency of film censorship.
§ Sir C. YATEIs the Noble Lord aware that some of these cinemas are of a most pernicious kind and are doing an infinite amount of harm in India? Will he take steps to see that there is an efficient censorship?
§ Earl WINTERTONI have covered that in my reply, when I said that the importance of the suggestion is recognised.
§ Earl WINTERTONI have not the least idea what is the suggestion.
