HC Deb 12 April 1946 vol 421 c358W
Mr. H. Amory

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, whether Government Departments pay for communications to the public made through the medium of the cinema as they do when made through the Press.

Mr. Glenvil Hall:

Communications to the public through the medium of the cinema are normally made either through short newsreel interviews by arrangement with the newsreel companies or through short trailer films or flashes. In general no payment is made to the cinemas for these facilities. No payments are of course made for communications to the public through the Press, other than communications made through the medium of advertisements.
