§ 39. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the Empire Marketing Board is responsible for the showing in this country of the film, "Ireland's Rough-hewn Destiny"; and by whom the film was produced and upon what terms it is being shown?
§ Mr. LUNNThe film to which the hon. Member refers was produced by Lieut.-Colonel V. A. Haddick. The Empire Marketing Board had no hand in its production. It illustrates one of a number of lectures which have been approved by the Board for inclusion in their programme for the current session.
§ Major ROSSCan the hon. Gentleman say why this film contains no reference whatever to the most important industrial area in Ireland, that is to say, Northern Ireland?
§ Major ROSSWhile thanking the hon. Gentleman for his reply, may I ask whether the title of the film could not be altered to a more appropriate one? Surely, the destinies of the Irish Free State are sufficiently rough-hewn?
