HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 cc140-1W
98. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any British film of the Olympic Games has now been registered; and what arrangements have been made for it to be shown in the major cinemas in Britain.

Mr. Erroll

An application for registration has just been received and is being examined. I have no knowledge of what bookings will follow yesterday's trade showing of the film, but in any case my right hon. Friend has no power to intervene unless an application is made under subsection (2) of Section 5 of the Cinematograph Films Act, 1948.
