§ 52. Mr. Denvilleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the desirability of ensuring that no unnecessary expenditure is incurred on cinematograph films imported from abroad, he will take all possible steps to ensure that ample entertainment of British origin is available for the public at reasonably competitive prices; and whether he will consider the desirability of increasing the number of British entertainments which are not liable to Entertainment Duty, thus ensuring that, so far as possible, money spent on entertainment is retained for circulation in this country?
§ Sir J. SimonI have noted the suggestions in both parts of the Question; but my hon. Friend will not expect me to anticipate my Budget statement.
