§ 52. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Health what steps are being taken to make use of talking films for the pur- 611 pose of giving instruction in hygiene, mothercraft, etc.?
§ Mr. GREENWOODCinematograph films are frequently used by local authorities and voluntary bodies for the purpose of giving instruction to the public on matters connected with health and mothercraft, but I understand that very little use has so far been made of talking films for this purpose.
§ Mr. MANDERIs the right hon. Gentleman prepared to carry out experiments in this direction?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI shall be glad to consult the hon. Member as to its possibilities.
§ Mr. HARRISWill the right hon. Gentleman consult the President of the Board of Education, who is sitting next to him, in order to get his co-operation?
§ Mr. DAYIs it not a fact that various health authorities are showing these films as produced and exhibited by insurance companies free of charge?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI believe that films have been produced by both voluntary bodies and private firms.
