Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for War in respect of the preparation of what films the War Office has received payments in the financial year 1929–30; and, of the sum received, what portion represents lump-sum payment and what portion a percentage of the profits?

Mr. SHAW

Payments were received in 1929–30 for facilities granted in connection with films of the Trooping of the Colours and for assistance rendered in connection with the films "Somme," "Ypres" and "Mons." Of the total received, two-thirds represented percentage on profits and one-third lump sum payments.
