HC Deb 04 February 1948 vol 446 c1784
32. Squadron-Leader Sir Gifford Fox

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made in each of the principal British Colonies to deal with the problems of the dollar cost of American cinematograph films consequent upon the dollar crisis.

Mr. Creech Jones

This matter is still under consideration, and I am not yet in a position to make any statement about it.

Mr. Charles Williams

Will the right hon. Gentleman inform the House when this consideration is likely to spring into activity?

Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

Will the right hon. Gentleman also bear in mind that the fewer American films imported into the British Colonies the better it will be for the spiritual, mental and moral welfare of the natives?
