HC Deb 15 November 1927 vol 210 c860
Colonel DAY

I beg to move, in page 5, line 39, to leave out the word "five," and to insert instead thereof the word "ten."

This is an extremely important Clause which is very essential as far as small exhibitors are concerned.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

I beg to second the Amendment.

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

I am prepared to accept this Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I beg to move, in page 5, to leave out from the second word "the," in line 41, to the first word "to," in page 6, line 1, and to insert instead thereof the words: maker of the film or, if at the time of the alteration the film has been acquired by a renter, the renter. I gave an undertaking in Committee that I would make it plain that the person responsible was the then owner of the film and not necessarily the original name on the register. I have taken legal advice on this point, and I am informed that a provision of this kind is necessary.

Amendment agreed to.
