§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Home Secretary if Messrs. Jack, the publishers of a book entitled "India, a Nation," written by Mrs. Annie Besant, have been informed by him that the book must be withdrawn from circulation; and, if so, on what ground this has been done, and what there is in the book to which the Government take exception; and by what authority this order has been given, seeing that the book does not in any sense come under any of the regulations under the Defence of the Realm Act?
Mr. SAMUELThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second and third parts, therefore, do not arise.
