HC Deb 28 March 1938 vol 333 c1696

Lords Amendment: In page 34, line 20, after "films," insert: or for licences under this Act.

Captain Wallace

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This would enable the Board of Trade to prescribe by regulations the form in which the exhibitors' licences shall be applied for.

Lords Amendment: In page 34, line 22, at the end, insert: or is a film which ought to be registered under Part III of this Act as a renters' quota film.

Captain Wallace

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Clause 26 provides, in its second Subsection, that a British film, in order to qualify for registration as a renters' quota film, must satisfy certain additional conditions, and this Amendment is to enable the Board to make regulations prescribing the evidence which they will require in order to establish the right of a British film to registration as a renters' quota film.
