HC Deb 08 December 1927 vol 211 cc1579-80W
Sir J. POWER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether legislation has yet been introduced into any of the Crown Colony legislatures for the purpose of encouraging the production and exhibition of British cinematograph films?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

A Bill has recently been introduced in the Straits Settlements, but as yet I have no information of similar action in other Dependencies, which will no doubt wish to consider our legislation on the subject before taking action.
