HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 c120W
68. Mr. Wyatt

asked the President of the Board of Trade who are the representatives of the interests of the independent producers on the Films Council; and what are their qualifications.

Mr. Belcher

The representatives of first-feature producers on the Cinematograph Films Council include Sir Alexander Korda and Mr. Anthony Havelock-Allan. The former is "independent" in the sense that he does not rely for his finance on money provided by an American distributor or any of the companies associated with the circuits. The latter is likewise "independent" in the sense that he owns no studio of his own and does not rely for his distribution on one distributor exclusively.
