HC Deb 14 May 1925 vol 183 cc2052-3W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that the present law has proved insufficient to restrain certain sections of the Press, from publishing matter which is injurious to public morals, specially among the young, he will say what steps he proposes to take in the matter; and whether he will consider the advisability of expediting a Measure on the lines of the Judicial Proceedings (Regulation of Reports) Bill?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which the Prime Minister gave to a question by the right hon. Member for the Aston Division of Birmingham (Sir E. Cecil) on the 4th instant.
