HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 c2699W
Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will set up a committee to consider the influence of the cinema upon children of school age and also to consider the type of film shown.

Mr. Ede

On present information I am doubtful whether the appointment of a special committee would be advantageous having regardinter alia to the fact that there are already two or three organisations whose activities or interests cover most aspects of the attendance of children at the cinema. I am, however, prepared to consider how far one of the existing organisations can usefully review the position.
