HC Deb 04 July 1932 vol 268 c8
18. Mr. KIRKWOOD (for Mr. McGOVERN)

asked the Secretary of State for India the reasons for disallowing "United India," edited by G. S. Dara, from being circulated in India; and will he withdraw any ban upon this journal being sent from London to India?

Sir A. LAMBERT WARD

The entry of copies of "United India" into India is prohibited under Section 19 of the Sea Customs Act, on the ground that it contains matter of an objectionable nature. My right hon. Friend sees no reason to interfere with the discretion of the Government of India in the matter.
