HC Deb 10 July 1962 vol 662 cc115-6W
33. Mr. Hunter

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much was earned in the export or renting of British films in Europe and the United States of America, respectively, in 1961; and if he will give the comparable figures for 1960.

Sir K. Joseph

The available information relates to the overseas earnings of British films actually remitted to the United Kingdom in respect of the rents, royalties and sales of rights analysed according to the areas from which the currency was received, which are not necessarily the areas in which it was earned. Figures for 1960 are as follows:

Receipts from the member countries of the O.E.E.C. £1,432,000
Dollar receipts £2,890,000

1961 figures are not yet available.
