§ 1. Sir CHARLES HUNTERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if, considering the decision to allow the official photographs from the front to be shown as' films in public places, he will consider the possibility of obtaining from the French Government leave to exhibit their films showing the work of their troops?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Tennant)I am not aware of any restriction upon the exhibition of French Government films.
§ Sir C. HUNTERWill the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries of the French Government if he can have these films?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe matter rests entirely as a commercial matter upon the laws of supply and demand. If there is a demand for them, undoubtedly they will be produced.
§ Sir C. HUNTERWould it not be much more educational to people here if they had films of the real fighting?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am all in favour of carrying out what the hon. and gallant Gentleman has in view. I am only uncertain as to the manner in which His Majesty's Government could act to that end.
