Obscene comic books

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?
