HC Deb 22 February 1965 vol 707 cc44-6W
Mr. Wylie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of recent widespread postal distribution in Scotland of advertisements relating to the magazine, Penthouse, the Lord Advocate is considering instituting a prosecution.

Mr. Ross

My right hon. and learned Friend has received complaints from persons in Scotland regarding the receipt by them of advertisements relating to the magazine Penthouse.. It would appear, however, that the advertisements were dispatched by post in England, and as proceedings are pending there for contraventions of the Post Office Act, 1953, Section 11, my right hon. and learned Friend does not intend to instruct proceedings in Scotland meantime.
