HC Deb 13 May 1952 vol 500 c96W
76. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that, in view of the sale of Denham Studios to a non-film-producing company, the British film industry is unable to fulfil the film quota; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. H. Strauss

We should certainly regard it as a matter for concern if, for lack of studio space, not enough British films were made to supply the quota. Film makers do not appear, however, to be hampered by lack of studio space; nor do we consider that such a situation would arise if Denham Studios were to cease to be available for film production.
