HC Deb 28 January 1971 vol 810 cc180-1W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will direct the Board of Customs and Excise to impound all copies of The Anarchist's Cook-book by William Powell and published by Lyle Stuart Incorporated which are sought to be imported into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Higgins

I have been asked to reply.

No. H.M. Customs and Excise have no power to seize imported books unless they are indecent or obscene.
