asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the suppression of the newspaper "Hojas Libre" in Gibraltar continues and when this ban is to be removed?

According to the latest information received from the Governor, no further copies of this publication have been introduced into Gibraltar since the middle of last May. The question whether any action should be taken if copies are introduced in the future must depend upon the nature of their contents.

It means that the copies of the paper coming into Gibraltar in future will be examined as heretofore, and action will be taken according to the nature of the contents.

Will not the position in Gibraltar then be just the same as the position in this country during the General Strike?
