§ 79. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what complaints he has received about the sale 224W to children of imported chewing gum containing near-nude pictures; and what action he will take in this matter.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeSeveral hon. Members and others complained to me, and the matter was reported to the Director of Public Prosecutions who found no grounds for taking legal proceedings. However, I understand from my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade that the cards were not covered by the import licence for confectionery held by the importer, who is not bringing any more of these cards into the country.
