§ Mr. Hewlettasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the banning of British films in the U.S.A. on trivial grounds; and whether he will investigate the desirability of banning American films on the same grounds in this country.
§ Mr. DaltonAll films, British or American, before exhibition in the United States, are submitted for censorship to a body known as the Hays' Office. Likewise, all films, British or American, before exhibition in this country, are submitted to the British Board of Film Censors. Both organisations are non-Governmental bodies. I do not propose at present to make representations about the decisions made by either body.
