It has been suggested, following a piece in one of the
Junday newspapers (The Standard) that the Control of Publications
Özinazoe was never approved in London when it was macted in 1951

provision of the Royal Instrations. From a quick search carried out
in the contemporary papers, it does appear that no notice of non-
disallowance was ever published in the Government Casette. But that

Article VIII
provides that the Quem, through the Secretary of State

simply
ay
disallow my mastnent. This enactment was never disallowed and it
is therefore a fully valid statute.
