42. Major Lloydasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any measure of priority is given in Scottish schools to lantern or film lectures on the British Empire over similar lectures on foreign countries; and whether he is satisfied with the present situation in this regard?
Mr. JohnstonThe main source of film supply for most Scottish schools is the Scottish Central Film Library. I am informed that in this library, which last year distributed over 40,000 reels, films on the British Empire greatly outnumber films on other countries, and that these Empire films are in constant demand. Another widely used source is the film library of the Imperial Institute which deals exclusively with Empire subjects.
