HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc318-9W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many individual titles were included in the 54,000 books and magazines and the 1,350 films, which were seized in the Metropolitan Police area in 1970; and what were the countries of origin of this material.

Mr. Sharpies

No records of individual titles are kept, and the number of books and magazines was too large for any estimate to be made. In the case of the 1,350 films seized it is estimated that there were about 130 different titles. The bulk of the films and magazines came from Scandinavia and of the paper back books from America.
