§ 44. Mr. Leonardasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is aware that the cinematograph projector units now available in schools are being rendered inoperative because of the shortage of educational films; and whether, as a means of fostering production of such films, he will consider helping financially and otherwise, film libraries, to meet the requirements of education authorities?
Mr. LindsayNo, Sir. I do not think that the use of projectors in schools is being curtailed by reason of the shortage of educational films. The expenditure of local education authorities on film libraries is already aided by grants from the Board.
