HC Deb 29 February 1928 vol 214 c429W
Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that many films have been exhibited in foreign countries which are derogatory to the British Empire and the British people and calculated to cause ill-feeling between the British Empire and foreign countries, the British Government have ever made any representations to any foreign Government in regard to the undesirability of any film being exhibited in such foreign country?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir; on some half dozen occasions, at least, His Majesty's representatives have approached the competent authorities in several countries with the object of securing excisions or modifications in films which appeared to be derogatory to British prestige.
