CLAUSE 25.—(Determination of films to be treated as British films for purposes of registration.)

HC Deb 28 March 1938 vol 333 c1694 1694

§ Lords Amendment: In page 23, line 20, leave out "is," and insert "was."

§ Captain Wallace
I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This is a drafting Amendment. The real point here is not that the studio used in making a film is within His Majesty's Dominion at the time the film is registered, but that the studio should have been within His Majesty's Dominion at the time when the film was made. It is, therefore, proposed to substitute "was" for "is."
