Post Office Act, 1953

HC Deb 27 May 1971 vol 818 c233W

Mr. Milne

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will now examine the possibility of introducing legislation to strengthen the Post Office Act, 1953, concerning the delivery of obscene or indecent material by post.

Mr. Chataway

No. It is already an offence under Section 11 of the Post Office Act, 1953, to send packets containing obscene or indecent material by post.
