HC Deb 18 June 1976 vol 913 c310W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he has decided the level of quota of British films to be shown by exhibitors during the year beginning 1st January 1977.

Mr. Meacher

The Cinematograph Films Council has recommended that there should be no change in the level of exhibitors' quota of 30 per cent. for first feature films and 25 per cent. for supporting programme for the year beginning 1st January 1977. This advice has been accepted. Quota achievement has regularly exceeded this requirement level, averaging 41 per cent. over the last three years.
