HC Deb 21 July 1931 vol 255 cc1235-6
29. Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give particulars of any changes that have taken place during the previous 12 months in the members of the statutory committee appointed under the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

The only change since my reply to the hon. Member of 10th February last on this subject is the resignation of one of the members not representing the film industry, that is one of those appointed under Section 30 (1) (d) of the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927.

Mr. DAY

How long are these appointments for?

Mr. GRAHAM

I think they are for two or three years, but I should like to verify the point.

33. Mr. REMER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has considered the report, a copy of which has been sent to him, of the commission which has recently been held in Canada inquiring into the Americanisation of the cinemas in that country; if he will state to what extent this report agrees with the report which has been sent to him by the London Trades Council; and what action he intends to take?

Mr. GRAHAM

I have not yet received a copy of the report of the Canadian Royal Commission.

Mr. REMER

When does the right hon. Gentleman expect to receive it?

Mr. GRAHAM

All I have seen up to this point is a Press reference a few days ago. I will try to get a copy.
