§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Attorney-General for what reasons the ban on Mr. Compton Mackenzie's book, "Greek Memories," is still in force, notwithstanding the fact that the author, after having paid a fine, has intimated his willingness to the authorities to publish the book with the offending passages omitted?
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe book as originally produced was the subject of a prosecution under the Official Secrets Acts and was withdrawn. After the prosecution the publishers communicated with the Director of Public Prosecutions with a view to getting approval of an expurgated edition. The Director of Public Prosecutions pointed out, among other things, the impossibility of his undertaking duties of censorship and as far as I know the matter then dropped.
