According to the information in my possession, the exhibition of 25 films was prohibited during the 12 months ending on the 30th September last. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. DAY

How many of those are British films?

My hon. Friend has a question on that point later in the week.

Mr. DAY

Can my right hon. Friend say whether any modifications have been made in the regulations since the introduction of the "talkies"?

I have answered that question already. Arai DIS.
