Mr. Rost

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated value, from the latest figures available, of the importation of pornographic books, films and magazines.

Mr. Higgins

The information is not available. The hon. Member may like to know that in 1972–73, 63,000 books, 2,470 films and 932,000 magazines were seized as being indecent or obscene articles whose importation was prohibited under the Customs Acts.
