HC Deb 18 May 1954 vol 527 c117W
67. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he has considered the pornographic publication, imported from Australia, a copy of which has been sent to him; and whether he will take steps to prevent the importation of such literature.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I cannot agree that this issue of this publication should have been prohibited under the Customs Acts, but I can assure my hon. Friend that the Customs and Excise will use their powers wherever appropriate.
