§ Mr. FISHERLaws have been passed in 1918 and 1919 enabling the Government of India to institute arrangements for the examination and certification of films, for licensing places of exhibition, and for making rules to govern both matters. I am not aware whether the laws have as yet been brought into operation. I shall be glad to supply my hon. and gallant Friend with copies of the Acts if he so desires.
§ Colonel YATEIt is not copies of the Acts I desire. Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire whether the Government of India are putting those Acts into force?
§ Mr. FISHERindicated assent.
