HC Deb 25 November 1957 vol 578 c88W
85. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent it is envisaged that the rules and principles governing the proposed European Free Trade Area would conflict with the principles of the British film quota system, as now operated in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Erroll

The negotiations are at a very early stage and I cannot yet say precisely what form the Free Trade Area will take or how it will affect the film industry.
