Vice-Admiral Taylor

(2) how many films registered as British films during the last three calendar years were produced with labour costs of not less than £22,500 and not more than £30,000, and over £30,000, respectively?

Captain Wallace

I regret that the particulars desired cannot be compiled from Board of Trade records. There has hitherto been no obligation on the part of makers or renters of films to inform the Board of Trade of the total labour costs of a British film.
