HC Deb 24 May 1916 vol 82 c2113
93. Sir J. LONSDALE

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to the character of many of the films now being exhibited at cinema theatres; and if it is intended to establish a censorship of these productions?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

A number of representations have been made to me respecting the character of some of the films shown at cinematograph theatres, and I have the whole question under consideration. I am not in a position to make any statement at present.
