1. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has received any information, and can give the House particulars, of any British cinematograph films that have been banned in India during the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)

I have received no information later than that contained in my answer to the hon. Member's question of 22nd July, but I am making inquiries and will communicate with my hon. Friend later.

Mr. DAY

Can my right hon. Friend say whether the system of censorship in India has changed during that time?

Mr. BENN

Not to my knowledge, during the past 12 months.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Is it not advisable to have a censorship in India?

Mr. BENN

I referred to that matter in the answer that I gave before.
