HC Deb 23 July 1957 vol 574 c27W
61. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many cinemas are at present totally exempt from the provisions of the film quota; and what are their names.

Mr. Erroll

For the quota year ending 30th September, 1957, 153 cinemas have been exempted from screen quota obligations. Since this exemption depends upon information about box office takings, which are a private matter, my right hon. Friend is not prepared to publish the names of the cinemas concerned.

Forward to
