HC Deb 25 May 1962 vol 660 c82W
Mr. Hirst

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet made a decision about the quota of British films to be shown by exhibitors during the year beginning 1st January, 1963.

Mr. Erroll:

Yes. After consulting the Cinematograph Films Council I have decided in accordance with their advice to leave the prescribed quotas at 30 per cent. for first feature films and 25 per cent. for the supporting programme for the exhibitors' quota year beginning 1st January, 1963. No order to amend the Cinematograph Films (Quotas) Amendment Order, 1950. is therefore required.
