HC Deb 09 July 1931 vol 254 cc2269-70
64. Mr. DAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any Government material or stores have been loaned for use and/or used in the making of cinematograph films for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; and will he give particulars of the numbers of applications which were made and refused during this period for similar facilities?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

My information is to the effect that in the last 12 months no Government material has been loaned for use in the making of films and that there have been no such applications as are referred to in the last part of the question.

Mr. DAY

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether applications and loans were made before the 12 months period?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRWENCE

If the hon. Member puts down a question upon it, I will deal with that point.
