HC Deb 22 November 1973 vol 864 cc484-5W
56. Mr. Lambie

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has had from members of the public who have received obscene unsolicited advertising leaflets of the type notified to him by the hon. Member for Central Ayrshire; and if he will formulate proposals for preventing such intrusion into people's private lives.

Mr. Carlisle

We have received several complaints about the leaflets to which the hon. Member refers, and a great many about the indiscriminate unsolicited circulation of similar material. Clause 10 of the Cinematograph and Indecent Displays Bill, which has now received its Second Reading, is designed to provide more effective safeguards against this objectionable practice.
