§ 63. Mr. Reevesasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any decisions 1286 have been made as to the implementation of the Report on Tendencies to Monopoly in the Cinematograph Film Industry.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Mr. Ellis Smith)The majority of the recommendations in the Report on Tendencies to Monopoly in the Cinematograph Film industry could not be implemented without legislation, and many of them raise issues of great complexity. We have given preliminary consideration to the proposals contained in this Report and the views expressed on those proposals by the various sections of the industry, but no final decisions upon them have yet been reached. The present Act expires in 1948, and this will give the opportunity for new and comprehensive legislation.
