§ 30. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the right of public meeting and the publication of newspapers can still be exercised in all British Colonies; how many publications have been suppressed; and whether native, political and industrial organisations can function freely?
Mr. M. MacDonaldApart from Defence Regulations, which follow in the main those brought into operation in this country, there has, so far as I am aware, been no change since the outbreak of war in Colonial legislation affecting the matters referred to in the first and third parts of the Question. Nor am I aware of any instance of the suppression of a publication since the war.
