HC Deb 06 February 1964 vol 688 c201W
50. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development on how many occasions his Department has rejected the advice of the Cinematograph Films Council in the last five years; what were the subjects involved; and why he has rejected it in the case of the future of the British Lion Company.

Mr. Heath

The Council's advice on an issue of policy has not been followed on two occasions in the last five years. I explained to the House on Tuesday evening why I could not follow their advice on British Lion.
