HC Deb 28 January 1953 vol 510 c116W
78. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the nature of the shipment of books recently imported from Britain to the West Indies by the Honourable Cheddi Jagan and refused entry by the Customs Department.

Mr. Lyttelton

I assume that the shipment referred to is one to British Guiana which was forfeited in February, 1952, on the ground that it was not covered by an import licence. It consisted of a large number of books and gramophone records of Russian origin containing Communist propaganda.
