§ Sir R. GOWERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the British film industry is in a depressed condition owing to foreign competition; and whether, in order to stimulate such industry, he will consider the desirability of introducing, at an early date, legislation restricting the admission of foreign films into this country?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKThe position of the British film industry has been under consideration for some time. I understand that the various interests concerned are considering a scheme designed to promote the production of British films, and will probably submit detailed proposals for the consideration of the Government at an early date.
