HC Deb 22 June 1939 vol 348 cc2547-8

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. Bellenger

Could we be told whether this is, as it were, consequential on the change from "institute" to "Committee."? Is this merely a change in the nomenclature of the authority which receives this benefit?

Sir J. Simon

Yes, that is so. Originally the Educational Cinematographic Institute was a body established in Rome. Italy has withdrawn from the League of Nations and the present arrangements are, therefore, in a state of suspense. We have a new arrangement which will enable the different countries to supply this very valuable aid to educational films.

Clause 5 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
