76. Mr. Wood

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to amend Section 1 (1) (b) of the Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932, to allow cinema owners to devote a proportion of their net takings to the Cinematograph Trade Benevolent Fund, if they so desire.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

The charities which are to benefit from the sums required to be paid under this Section are designated by the licensing authorities and may, and in some cases do, include the Fund to which my hon. Friend refers.
