HC Deb 02 April 1935 vol 300 cc201-2
22. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that, despite the provisions of the Cinematograph Films Act, blind and block booking is taking place to an increasing extent, and that this is the sequel to the development since 1927 of the system of large theatre circuits; and whether he contemplates any amendment of the Act to deal with this situation?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I understand that the Cinematograph Films Advisory Committee have this question under consideration and any recommendations which they may make will receive my careful consideration.
