§ Sir R. Youngasked the Minister of Information whether the publications "The Watchtower" and "Consolation" are religious periodicals imported from America which have been banned, or whether there is a British edition of 632W these publications to which the order of November, 1942, applies and, in either case, will he state the nature of the printed matter which led to the ban being imposed?
§ Mr. BrackenThese papers are American publications. Bulk supplies of them used to be imported info this country and a proportion re-exported elsewhere. In view of the attitude of Jehovah's Witnesses to the war effort it was not considered justifiable to allow this practice to continue.
