HC Deb 25 November 1971 vol 826 cc421-2W
34. Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has considered the requests for action on the law of obscenity contained in a proclamation issued by the Festival of Light Movement, a copy of which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Macclesfield; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sharples

The proclamation Makes a number of proposals for legislation, not all of which concern the law of obscenity. Those which relate to obscenity require elucidation and my right hon. Friend is informing the chairman of this organisation that he would be glad to arrange for its representatives to be received at the Home Office for this purpose. There is nothing further that I can say meanwhile.
