§ Mr. RobinsonIn the meantime, will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman give assurances that this campaign, which I fully support, against horror comics will not be allowed to obscure the need for clarification and, indeed, liberalisation 556 of the present law of obscenity relating to adults?
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI cannot comment on the actual law, but I can assure the hon. Member that the one matter will not interfere with the other.
