26. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider an amendment of Ordinance No. V, of 1933 (Malta), requiring the deposit of a sum of £200 with the treasurer by anyone editing a newspaper, because of its inadequacy in preventing the publication of papers which may be subsidised by a foreign Government and because it renders the publication of Labour papers an impossibility while permitting publication to wealthy political leaders?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI will consult the Governor with regard to the hon. Member's suggestion.
