HC Deb 30 November 1933 vol 283 cc1062-3W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Lord President of the Council how much money has been received to date from allocations under the Sunday Entertainments Act for the benefit of the National Film Institute; and what has been accomplished by the latter organisation?

Mr. BALDWIN

I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend refers to the sums received by the Cinematograph Fund, which amount to £2,480 12s. 2d. I would point out, however, that the Sunday Entertainments Act does not restrict payments from the fund to any specified body, and I am unable to give him the information he desires with regard to the British Film Institute to which no grant has been made.
