HC Deb 24 March 1936 vol 310 c1027
2. Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give an estimate of the sums paid in respect of films made abroad and exhibited in this country for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; and how this compares with the amount expended on the hire of British films produced under the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927, for the comparable period?
