HC Deb 30 October 1929 vol 231 cc153-4
2. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the amount to be paid to the film company which produced the cinematograph film on behalf of the Empire Marketing Board; whether this film was produced on a contract price; and will he give the House particulars?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Lunn)

The cinematograph film made on behalf of the Empire Marketing Board was produced, on a contract basis, by a British film company. As regards the first and third parts of the question, I regret that I am unable to depart from the settled policy of regarding contract prices as confidential.

Mr. DAY

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether tenders were invited for this contract?

Mr. LUNN

I should have to have notice of that question. I cannot say.
