HC Deb 24 July 1934 vol 292 c1666W
Mr. LIDDALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the importation of blank cinematograph film increased from 15,625,588 linear feet in the first six months of 1932 to 27,064,984 linear feet in the first half of 1933, and to 29,812,877 linear feet in the same period of this year; and what steps be proposes to take to deal with the situation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am aware of the figures of the importation of blank cinematograph film to which my hon. Friend refers. The duties on cinematograph films, in common with other Budget duties, will come up for review in the ordinary course before the next Budget, and all relevant considerations, including those to which my hon. Friend has drawn attention, will be borne in mind.
