HC Deb 24 June 1930 vol 240 c972
65. Sir A. POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation giving powers to the Government to prevent the exhibition of films of a subversive nature?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)

No, Sir.

Sir A. POWNALL

Has the attention of the Department been called to some of these films; if not, may I give the hon. Gentleman particulars in regard to them?

Mr. SHORT

I should be glad to receive particulars. The information is insufficient to justify any interference with the present censorship of films.
