HC Deb 27 November 1958 vol 596 c77W
Mr. Mathew

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will now set up machinery to consider applications for exemption from the cinematograph films levy by those exhibitors who can prove that they are suffering individual hardship as a result of the levy on smaller cinematograph theatres.

Mr. F. M. Bennett

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now increase the exemption limit of £150 from the Cinematograph Films Levy, in view of the difficulties that it is causing to smaller exhibitors.

Sir D. Eccles

There has not yet been time to provide enough evidence to justify a review of the exemption limit.
