§ Mr. Anthony Grantasked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what proposals he has to promote the development of the British film industry; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what action he proposes to take on the recommendations of the Cinematograph Films Council regarding finance for the production of films.
§ Mr. DeakinsI understand that a report from the Cinematograph Films Council, making proposals to promote the development of the industry, is in final stages of preparation. It will naturally receive my close attention but it would be difficult for me to anticipate its contents.
