HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 cc1000-1
50. Dr. Barnett Stross

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now publish the monthly receipts of Entertainments Duty derived from film exhibitions.

Sir S. Cripps

Accurate figures for receipts of Entertainments Duty from film exhibitions are not collected on a monthly basis, but arrangements have been made for the publication of approximate figures, with other statistics relating to the film trade, in the Board of Trade Journal at regular intervals. The first set of figures appeared in the issue of 13th May.
