HC Deb 26 October 1949 vol 468 c150W
89. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has considered the undesirable nature of the new Press Bill which the Jamaican Government has passed; and if he will advise His Majesty to disallow this measure.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have made certain inquiries of the Governor as a result of Press reports, and I should prefer to defer comment until I have received his reply.
