§ Major MOULTONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is now in a position to give information as to a publication entitled "Sex Knowledge," sold by the Proletarian Book Store, Glasgow; and whether, if a prosecution was instituted, he will state the result?
Mr. ADAMSONA prosecution was brought in the Sheriff Court, Glasgow, against those responsible for the book referred to on the ground of its obscenity. In view, however, of an undertaking given by the accused persons to stop all further publication of the book and to destroy all copies in their hands, Crown Counsel decided that the public interest would he best served by not carrying the proceedings further. The object suggested in the hon. and gallant Member's previous question of restraining the sale of this publication has thus been effected.
