§ 33. Mr. REMERasked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the fact that British shipping companies, both on Atlantic crossings and on cruises, show few British films; and if he will initiate legislation on the lines of the Act applicable to films shown in this country to apply to films shown on ships flying the British flag?
§ Dr. BURGINI am afraid that I cannot see my way to initiate legislation on the lines proposed by my hon. Friend. I understand that certain British lines already make a practice of showing a proportion of British films, and I hope that, in the interests of British industry, the practice will be generally followed by British shipowners.
