HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 c20W
62. Mr. Turton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he has sanctioned the transmission to France of funds up to the amount of £50,000 subscribed to enable a French film producer to make a religious film.

Mr. Jay

Because my right hon. and learned Friend judged on financial grounds that it was in the national interest to do so.
