§ 2. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, what has been the result of the correspondence passing between his Department and the 979 Dominions who had agreed to pass legislation on similar lines to that contained in Part I of the Cinematograph Act, 1927?
Mr. M. MacDONALDThere has been no question of specific agreement on the part of any of the Dominions to legislate on the lines of Part I of the Cinematograph Act, 1927. I understand, however, that legislation on similar lines has been passed in New Zealand.
§ Mr. DAYWhat has been the result of the inquiries of the right hon. Gentleman's Department, which were promised some time ago, of Dominions which have agreed to pass legislation on these lines?
§ Mr. DAYMay I point out that the latter part refers only to New Zealand, whereas a previous answer given in the House referred to New Zealand and Canada, and stated that the other Dominions had promised to introduce legislation on these lines?
Mr. MacDONALDNo promise was given at any time to legislate on these lines. I think the previous answer to which the hon. Gentleman refers was concerned with another part of the Cinematograph Act, 1927.
