HC Deb 12 November 1936 vol 317 c1033
35. Mr. C. S. TAYLOR

asked the Home Secretary whether he will take steps to prevent any cinematograph film company from depicting the Almighty as a screen character in view of the anxiety which many sections of the British public feel regarding this?

Sir J. SIMON

The decision as to whether a particular film shall or shall not be allowed to be exhibited is one for the local licensing authorities, and I have no power to issue any instructions to them.
