HC Deb 04 December 1945 vol 416 cc2099-100
63. Mr. Keeling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the practice whereby British magazines obtain most of their light fiction by buying second rights from American magazines, at a heavy expenditure of dollars; and whether he proposes to restrain or discourage this practice.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir. No large expenditure of dollars is involved and I am reluctant to interfere in a matter on which tastes differ.

Mr. Keeling

I beg to give notice that I intend to raise this matter on the Adjournment.
