§ 27. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for War to give details of the financial arrangements under which soldiers of the Argyll Regiment were used in the film production of "Rob Roy" by Mr. Walt Disney; and what other similar engagements have been undertaken.
§ Mr. HeadThe financial arrangements were such as to prevent either cost falling upon public funds or undercutting of the civilian labour market. Similar engagements have often been undertaken in the past when the request was reasonable and could be readily met.
§ Mr. John MacLeodOn a point of order. Does this refer to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders? Which Argyll Regiment is referred to in the Question?
§ Mr. SpeakerThat is not a point of order.
§ Mr. HughesIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that Mr. Walt Disney is so satisfied with these financial arrangements that he is trying to make a new film of "The Big Bad Wolf" and have the Chancellor of the Exchequer in it?
