HC Deb 01 December 1926 vol 200 cc1176-7
20. Colonel DAY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what percentage of takings or profits the Admiralty will receive from the bookings or engagements of the film "Falkland"?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Davidson)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my statement of the 24th November—(OFFICIAL REPORT, Column 383–4)—to the effect that it would not be in the public interest to give such details.

Colonel DAY

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether any bookings have been obtained for this film?

Mr. DAVIDSON

I require notice of that question.

Colonel DAY

That is the point of the question. That was the same answer as I had before—that the hon. Gentleman would like notice. I have now put the question on the Paper and the hon. Gentleman gives me the same reply.

Mr. DAVIDSON

That is not the question on the Paper. The question on the Paper is whether f would say what percentage of takings or profits the Admiralty would receive?
