§ 40. Mr. Denis Howellasked the Attorney-General if he will refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions, with a view to a prosecution under the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act, a communication, a copy of which has been sent to him, posted in Chepstow to a constituent of the hon. Member for Birmingham, Small Heath, advertising the supply of obscene publications from an address in Denmark.
§ The Attorney-General: The Unsolicited Goods and Services Act does not come into effect until 12th August, 1971. However, inquiries have already been made about the posting of copies of circulars of this nature in this country, as the distribution might contravene other provisions of the criminal law. These inquiries will continue.
