HC Deb 06 May 1958 vol 587 c1026
41. Dr. King

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will exempt films made to be shown to children from import duty.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

The Board has not received any request to exempt children's films from import duty. If a request is made it will be considered.

Dr. King

Will the Minister take it that the request is being made by this Question? A limited number of excellent children's films are being made in various countries, but children's film shows are short of really good material. All who are keen about the welfare of children would support this request that the Minister should exempt from import duty the special children's films made in foreign countries.
