Censorship of Publications Board: Chairman Designate

3:55 pm

Mr. Shane McCarthy:

Quite a number of publications were banned in the 1950s and the 1960s and have remained banned, because the sunset clause does not apply to such publications. If complaints are made about those publications, it is my understanding that they would be reviewed by the board.
