HC Deb 18 May 1961 vol 640 c158W
Mr. Webster

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet made a decision about the quota of British films to be shown by exhibitors during the year beginning 1st January, 1962.

Mr. Maudling

Yes. After consulting the Cinematograph Films Council I have decided not to make any Order to amend the Cinematograph Films (Quotas) Amendment Order, 1950, but to leave the prescribed quotas at 30 per cent. for first feature films and 25 per cent. for the supporting programme for the exhibitors' quota year beginning 1st January, 1962.
