HC Deb 16 November 1936 vol 317 c1339W
Sir A. WILSON

asked the Lord President of the Council whether his attention has been drawn to the references made to the British Film Institute during the hearing in the High Court of the action of Lambert v. Levita; and whether he will consider the desirability of reviewing the constitution of the institute and its working?

Mr. R. MacDONALD

I am aware that certain references were made to the British Film Institute in the course of the action named by my hon. and gallant Friend. The constitution and work of the institute, however, have been under consideration for some time past, and the conclusion had already been reached that changes were called for if the institute was to receive further assistance from the Cinematograph Fund. The matter is still engaging attention.
