HC Deb 14 March 1934 vol 287 c348
3. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he proposes to take any action with reference to the banning in Germany of the British film "Catherine the Great," after it had been passed by the censor; and whether compensation will be paid to the company concerned?

Sir J. SIMON

Representations have been received on this matter from the producers of the film in question, and these are now being considered.

Mr. MANDER

Sir J. SIMON

I think that is a different question.

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Will my right hon. Friend assure the House that he will not stir up trouble with Germany because of a film censor?

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Why not?
