HC Deb 12 December 1934 vol 296 c392
73. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to a film entitled "Forbidden Territory," which is being generally released; whether he is aware that the picture is definitely anti-Russian; and whether he will take steps to prevent it being shown, in view of the undesirability of allowing propaganda hostile to a country with which this country has friendly relations?

Sir J. GILMOUR

My attention had not previously been drawn to this film, and from such inquiries as I have been able to make I gather that it is regarded as an exciting melodrama of a familiar type with no political significance whatever.

Mr. MACLEAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman inform the House how many films have been banned, or parts cut out before being exhibited, because they cantain propaganda against some other Power?
