asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the banning in Iraq of the "Jewish Chronicle" and other Jewish journals; and whether he can give any information as to what steps, if any, the Government have taken in regard to this matter?

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Bag-dad has already been instructed to ascertain and report whether such a ban has in fact been imposed, and if so, for what reasons.
