HC Deb 23 October 1941 vol 374 c1918W
Miss Cazalet

asked the Minister of Information what percentage of the five British news reels is of purely British origin; and what is the proportion of British news shown in the newsreel theatres in this country?

Mr. Bracken

I have no means of readily ascertaining a figure in answer to my hon. Friend's Question, and any estimate would be likely to be misleading. The contents of newsreels naturally vary according to the march of events and the availability to the newsreel companies of suitable material.
