§ 12. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Home Secretary how many meetings of the Cinema Consultative Committee have been held since 27th February; what representatives of municipalities attended; and what was the principal business done?
Mr. STANLEYI am informed that the Film Censorship Consultative Committee have so far held four meetings. I understand that they propose to review all the model conditions which the Home Office have from time to time recommended local licensing authorities to attach to licences granted under the Cinematograph Act; and that so far they have been mainly considering the best way of enforcing the classification of films made by the Board of Film Censors, having regard to the interests of children. The municipalities are represented by four gentlemen nominated by the Association of Municipal Corporations, and these gentlemen regularly attend the meetings of the Film Censorship Consultative Committee. I will send the hon. Member a copy of a list, which has already been published, of the members of the committee and the authorities whom they represent.
Mr. STANLEYNo doubt the Noble Lady studied the list when it was published, and noticed that at the moment there is no lady on it.
