HC Deb 04 August 1924 vol 176 c2544W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the Muslim organ in Europe, the "Crescent," is prohibited from circulating in India; and will he take steps to inquire of the Viceroy the reasons why this journal is prohibited?

Mr. RICHARDS

The importation into British India of this paper, which is published in Berlin, was prohibited by the Government of India by Notification of the 2nd May last. I see no reason to address any inquiry to the Government of India as to the propriety of their action.
