§ 33. Mrs. Whiteasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has reached a decision on the proposed increase in the relief accorded to smaller cinema exhibitors in respect of their liability to contribute to the Cinematograph Films Levy.
§ Mr. ErrollYes. I have accepted the recommendation made to me by the Cinematograph Films Council to raise the limit of exemption so that exhibitors' liability to pay the levy will commence when their box office takings in any week exceed £300 as compared with the current limit of £250. I will bring the necessary amending Regulations before the House at the first practicable opportunity, which I expect to be in November.
