HC Deb 15 July 1987 vol 119 cc483-4W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the Government intend to issue an amendment to the general import licence so as to render the importation of the book "Spycatcher" by Peter Wright subject to licensing.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Import of Goods (Control) Order 1954 provides powers to require goods to be subject to import licensing. I have no plans to amend the licensing requirements to cover this book.
