HC Deb 22 September 1948 vol 456 c861
17. Mr. Byers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give a list of publications, books, newspapers and periodicals prohibited to be imported or circulated under the various Seditious Publications Laws and Orders in British Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories.

Mr. Creech Jones

I am asking the.Governments of all dependencies to let me have the necessary particulars. I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as they are received.

Mr. Byers

While I thank the Minister for that reply, which is more satisfactory than the one he got to the same Question in 1936, may I ask him if he would be good enough to publish that information rather than communicate it only to one hon. Member?

Mr. Creech Jones indicated assent
