HC Deb 06 July 1937 vol 326 c171
44. Mr. Day

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received the observations from the various sections of the film trade on the suggestions that he put before them on 11th June last; and whether the Government have now reached a decision on the amendments to be introduced to the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927?

Mr. Stanley

The observations of the various sections of the film trade on the suggestions which I put before them on 11th June have now been received and are being considered.

Mr. Day

In view of the fact that Lord Moyne's Commission recommended in favour of a film commission, which is supported by the Cinematograph Association, will the right hon. Gentleman give every consideration to it?

Mr. R. C. Morrison

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the amending Bill will be introduced in the autumn Session?

Mr. Stanley

I cannot answer that.
