HC Deb 14 June 1967 vol 748 c541
40. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the President of the Board of Trade what restrictions, quotas or protections, at present operative in the film industry, are proposed by Her Majesty's Government for abolition under the Treaty of Rome.

Mr. Jay

None, Sir.

Mr. Jenkins

If, unhappily, our application were successful, would not the situation be that we should then be forced to remove the protections which at present have the effect of preserving an independent British film industry, such as it is?

Mr. Jay

I am advised that this is not the case but if my hon. Friend has evidence to the contrary I should be glad to examine it.
