§ 21. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will now state how many British films have been banned at Singapore since 1945; and what are the names of these films.
Mr. Creech JonesI understand that the British films which were withdrawn or refused exhibition in 1948 were "Captain Boycott," "Against the Wind," "Night Beat," "I became a Criminal," "Good Time Girl," and "No Orchids for Miss Blandish." I have no information covering the years 1945, 1946 and 1947.
§ Mr. HughesCan the Secretary of State assure us that "Hamlet" is not on the list?
§ Mr. PiratinIs it because the Malayans are too civilised or because they are uncivilised that they cannot be allowed to see "No Orchids for Miss Blandish"?
