§ 89. Mr. Bowdenasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the Army authorities responsible have withdrawn the supplies of films for the use of voluntary projectionists and that the result of this action will deprive the many bedridden men who are still in hospitals of their periodic film shows; and if he will agree to continue the issue of these films where there is a projectionist willing to do this voluntary work.
§ Mr. BellengerThe use of these films is controlled by the contractual agreement with the British and American Film Renters. The present agreement stipulates that the films shall not be exhibited except by a member of the staff of the Army Kinema Corporation or an authorised representative serving with an organised military unit. I regret, therefore, that they cannot now be released to voluntary projectionists.
