§ 16. Mr. Dayasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the number of cinematograph films that have been made in which Government ships or material have been used or Naval assistance given during the three years ending at the last convenient date?
Mr. CooperDuring the past three years considerable Naval facilities have been given for four cinematograph films. In addition, some minor facilities have frequently been afforded.
Mr. CooperYes, Sir. In the normal course, if a firm is supplied with facilities payment is made, but on occasions when films are produced in collaboration with the Admiralty which, for propaganda purposes, are valuable to the Admiralty, facilities are afforded free?
