§ Mr. Ensorasked the President of the Board of Trade, what arrangements have now been made for the co-production of cinematograph films between the United Kingdom and France; and what are the prospects of similar arrangements being made with Italy and West Germany.
§ Mr. MasonA film co-production agreement with France was signed on 21st September and entered into force on 6th November.
Talks for a co-production agreement with Italy were suspended pending the enactment of new films legislation in Italy. This legislation has now been passed and the way is therefore clear for these discussions to be resumed. Talks with West Germany may follow later on.
