§ Major BARNETTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, whether the projectors and other apparatus employed in the cinematograph showy at the British Empire Exhibition have been in every case manufactured mainly within the British Empire; and, if not, whether he will take 1526W steps to ensure that any apparatus not so manufactured shall be replaced by British apparatus in accordance with the regulations?
§ Mr. LUNNI am informed by the British Empire Exhibition authorities that the regulations relating to the admissibility of exhibits do not apply to projectors and other apparatus which are employed in the cinematograph shows at the Exhibition, but which do not in themselves constitute exhibits. I understand, however, that in practice every effort has been made to ensure that the cinematograph apparatus used shall be wholly or mainly of British manufacture, and if the hon. and gallant Member will be good enough to bring to my notice any instances of the use of foreign-made apparatus of which he may be aware, I shall be glad to bring the matter to the notice of the Exhibition authorities
