§ 20. Captain Cunningham-Reidasked the Minister of Information how many film studios in the British Isles are being used for the making of propaganda films?
Mr. CooperFilms commissioned by the Ministry of Information are now being produced at 14 studios in this country.
§ Captain Cunningham-ReidIn view of the fact that a large proportion of studios in this country have been requisitioned for other purposes, and considering the importance of the propaganda value of good British films, will the Minister make representations that the film industry should not be stifled in this way?
Mr. CooperI do not think that the production of Ministry of Information films is stifling the industry; rather is it encouraging the industry.
§ Captain Cunningham-ReidIs not the Ministry of Information concerned with British films generally?
