HC Deb 09 April 1941 vol 370 cc1542-3
16. Captain Duncan

asked the Minister of Information whether he will encourage the use of films made by his Department by the military authorities for the enlightenment and entertainment of troops?

Mr. Cooper

Yes, Sir. I am glad to say that a number of requests for copies of Ministry films for exhibition to the troops have already been made by the War Office.

Captain Duncan

Is my right hon. Friend in touch with the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes and the welfare department of the War Office, and can he say whether there is any technical difficulty in multiplying the number of copies of some of these Ministry films which men are very anxious to see in outlying districts?

Mr. Cooper

Yes, I am in touch with the welfare branch of the War Office, and there is no difficulty, so far as I am aware, in securing any number of copies of these films.

Mr. Granville

Is the extremely interesting and instructive film of the military operation called the "Lofoten Raid" available for military camps and for use?

Mr. Cooper

I think so.
