HC Deb 23 June 1924 vol 175 cc46-7W
Sir C. YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether issue No. 60, of the 28th March 1924, of the "Workers' Weekly" is the only number of that journal which has been proscribed in India as it contains seditious matter, or whether all issues of that paper have been proscribed; and, if not, why not?

Mr. RICHARDS

Certain other issues of the paper named have been proscribed in some provinces. As regards the last part of the question the Governments in India can only use their powers of proscription against those issues which fall within the provisions of the law.
