HC Deb 27 July 1936 vol 315 cc1113-4W
Mr. PARKER

asked the Lord President of the Council (1) whether, in the course of his inquiries into the work and position of the British Film Institute, he will request the governors to furnish him with a detailed account of the relationships between the British Film Institute and the film company known as Educational and General Services for Cinema and Radia during 1935 and 1936;

(2) whether, in the course of his inquiries into the work and position of the British Film Institute, he will request the governors to furnish him with the reasons for the resignation of the late general manager of the institute, Mr. J. W. Brown?

Mr. R. MacDONALD

A reply is at present awaited to a letter recently addressed to the British Film Institute in which the governors were asked to furnish the Privy Council with certain information. Until that reply is received I am unable to say whether it will be thought necessary to request the governors to supplement it.
