§ 37. Mr. Gaitskellasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the independent board for selecting additional British films to be shown by the circuits, will also lay down the rentals to be paid by the circuits for the hire of these films.
§ Mr. BelcherIt is an essential feature of the scheme that equitable rentals should be paid for the films selected. There should, however, he no need for the independent board to concern itself with the rentals of individual films unless there is a dispute as to whether the terms offered are equitable.
§ Mr. GaitskellWill my hon. Friend say whether, in the event of a dispute about rentals, the matter will be considered by the independent board?
§ Mr. BelcherYes, Sir.
