§ 35. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the list of proscribed publications in Uganda is too long to be easily memorised, and that, as the Uganda Government takes no steps beyond initial announcement in the Official Gazette to publicise the list, there is little opportunity for it to become more widely known; and, as there is a danger of injustice being done to individuals who unwittingly come into possession of proscribed publications, whether he will arrange for the list to be reduced to more reasonable proportions.
§ Mr. ProfumoMy right hon. Friend is in touch with the Governor about ensuring that those who might be concerned know which publications are proscribed.
§ Mr. StonehouseIs not the Minister aware that several people have been subject to charges over the possession of proscribed publications, and that many district commissioners and even policemen are unaware what publications are proscribed? Would he not ask those responsible to have an immediate look at this question, so that this list can be either reduced to reasonable proportions or abolished?
§ Mr. ProfumoWe had better wait until we hear from the Governor.
