HC Deb 13 December 1938 vol 342 cc1834-5W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the success of the film "Territorial Cavalcade," he is proposing to commission further films illustrative of other aspects of Army activity; and whether, in that case, he will make a statement as to when the next film will be commenced?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The film "Territorial Cavalcade" was not commissioned by my Department, but was produced and shown by a private individual in order to assist recruiting for the Territorial Army. I cannot positively answer the second part of the question, but every encouragement will be given to suitable proposals.

Mr. Temple Morris

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the greater use of films in popularising all branches of Army work?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

It is intended to use films as extensively as possible for this purpose.
