HC Deb 29 May 1952 vol 501 c182W
85. Mr. Wyatt

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now say how many prosecutions have been instituted under the Quota Act, 1948, against defaulters on first and supporting feature quotas respectively.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Proceedings have so far been instituted under the Cinematograph Films Act, 1948, in respect of 36 defaults on quotas for first features and eight defaults on quotas for supporting programmes. There were convictions in 24 of these cases. These prosecutions are for defaults in the first year of the Act only.
