Question No. 4
Reply by the Hon. P.K.Y. TSAO, CPM, JP
Secretary for Administrative Services and Information to a question by the Hon. CHAN Ying-lun, JP
in the Legislative Council on 6 July 1988
4. MR. CHAN Ying-lun asked (in Cantonese):
Orestion
Will Government inform this Council whether
it is aware that comic books with violent and
sexually explicit contents are being sold or
distributed openly to young readers, and what
actions have been taken, since the Control of
Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance came
into effect on 1 September 1987, to ensure
that no such publications are published or
sold in contravention of the Ordinance, and
that suspect articles are submitted to an
Obscene Articles Tribunal for classification?
