74. Mr. G. R. Strauss

asked the Minister of Works what reply has been received from the film companies which were given facilities to film the Coronation in the Abbey, to the suggestion by the right hon.

75. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Works whether the film companies have replied to his letter forwarding the suggestion that a proportion of the profits from the Coronation film be contributed to the Abbey repair fund by the companies which were given special facilities to film the ceremony in the Abbey.

I understand that contributions have been made by, or on behalf of, the three companies.
