asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the Empire Marketing Board have now arrived at any decision with a view to producing sound films for the purpose of propaganda.; and will he give particulars?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

The Board have three sound films in different stages of preparation at the present time, dealing respectively with Canadian Lumber, Home Milk and the Empire trade of London.

Mr. DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any particular films are in contemplation for particular British products?

Mr. THOMAS

I think that "home milk" would come under that description, and "Empire trade of London."

Mr. HANNON

Does the right hon. Gentleman contemplate the preparation of any other films in relation to other produce?

Mr. THOMAS

Not at this stage.
