HC Deb 18 December 1928 vol 223 c2780
10. Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade the number of applications for exhibitors' licences that have been made to his Department under the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The number is 4,115.

Mr. DAY

Do the fees received for these licences pay the expenses?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I should like notice of that question. The estimate I gave of the fees proposed was considered adequate for the administration expenses. I have no season to suppose that is not the case.
