§ Mr. Swinglerasked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent the establishment of a Common Market and the breakdown of negotiations for a Free Trade Area will affect the prospects of the British film industry.
§ Sir D. EcclesAs there is no indication of how films will be treated within the European Economic Community, it is impossible to predict whether there will be any effect on the prospects for British films.
§ Mr. Swinglerasked the President of the Board of Trade what proportions of films registered for British film quota purposes in each of the last five years were produced by companies which are mainly or partly American.
§ Sir D. EcclesNo film is registered as British unless it is made by a British subject or a British company. Many British companies contain some degree of American interest and I have not the information for which the hon. Member asks.
