75. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he made for the revision of the Anglo-American film agreement during the recent negotiations for its renewal; and with what results.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The Government's proposal to extend the Anglo-American Film Agreement without change for another year was accepted.

76. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has recently received on the subject of the revision of the Anglo-American film agreement; and what reply he has made.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The Association of Cinematograph and Allied Technicians suggested that the remittance of earnings to the United States under the Agreement should be reduced and that the import of American films should be limited by quantitative control. The Association were told that these points and all other relevant considerations had been taken into account by the Government in deciding their attitude to the Agreement.
