§ 19. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927, is working satisfactorily at the present time; does he propose introducing any legislation to amend any portion of this Act; and will he give particulars?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Act, which expires in 1938, is, I think, achieving the objects for which it was passed. As 1951 regards the latter part of the question, I have nothing to add to the reply I gave on 25th February to the hon. Member for South Croydon (Mr. H. G. Williams).
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI could not say without notice.
§ Mr. DAYDoes the Minister not realise that the Act is working at the present time in an entirely different way from that in which it was intended to work?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNo, Sir, I do not agree with that statement.
