§ 10. Mr. John Dugdaleasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is still impossible for units to obtain films for private showing if there is a public cinema within a radius of three miles?
§ Sir J. GriggThe agreement between the War Office and the Kinematograph Renters' Society provides that recreational films hired under it shall not be shown within two miles of a public cinema and not three miles, as my hon. Friend suggests.
§ Mr. DugdaleIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this agreement with a very rich and powerful organisation entails great hardship on soldiers who have to walk four miles and spend considerable sums out of their very small incomes?
§ Sir J. GriggI am aware that there is a case for looking into the matter, and I am looking into it.
