The Chairman: What do you meal exactly by saying-tend to exclude" Our feeling generally is that your bill g a great deal too far in the way of restric tion. It allows what is no report at all.
In view of what happens on the Contin ent. the publication allowed is very wide ( -Witness: I am aware of that, but do you think that is the standard of the Pres in this country? Do you think you could go into any shop in London and find the sort of stuff you find on any kiosk on the Continent ?
