HC Deb 20 December 1945 vol 417 c1653W
Mr. Boothby

asked the President of the Board of Trade why, in the most recent Paper Order, an allowance is granted for advertising circulars in respect of theatres but not of cinemas.

Sir S. Cripps

Cinemas are allowed under the Control of Paper (No. 70) (Economy) Order, 1945, to distribute advertising circulars gratuitously to approximately the same extent as theatres, although the quantity allowed for theatres is calculated in a rather different way to conform with the arrangements previously applicable in their case.
