HC Deb 30 June 1930 vol 240 c1578
3. Major POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the powers under the Indian Telegraphs Act given to local post office telegraph officials, apart from authority to refuse or delay telegrams which they consider objectionable, permits the censorship of messages submitted for transmission?

Mr. BENN

Yes, Sir, but as regards the use of those powers I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Wight (Captain Macdonald) on the 26th May.
