§ Mr. NEWBOLDasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the exhibition of indecent films in London; and will he explain why effective steps have not been taken to prevent such displays?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI have seen certain articles in a weekly newspaper to which the hon. Member presumably refers. It was stated in these articles that full particulars had been sent to Scotland Yard, but the Commissioner of Police informs me that no information could be obtained from the newspaper in question which was of the slightest value in leading to the detection of any exhibition of indecent films. The police are fully aware of the danger of such films being exhibited, and wig do all they can to provide against it.
