78. Mr. Swingler

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give estimates of the current earnings of British films in the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation countries and the current earnings in the United Kingdom of films produced in the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation countries, respectively.

Figures of the earnings of British films in O.E.E.C. countries are not available. Films produced in O.E.E.C. countries earned about £1 million in the United Kingdom in 1956.
