HC Deb 07 May 1964 vol 694 cc182-3W
59. Mrs. White

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what is the reason for the delay in paying to the National Film Finance Corporation the proceeds of the sale of British Lion Films; and when he expects the money will be transferred.

Mr. D. Price

As my right hon. Friend told the House on the 4th February the National Film Finance Corporation will be enabled to use for the film industry's benefit such of the receipts from the recent sale of British Lion as may be necessary in the light of the discussions he will be having with it. These discussions are in progress and we are awaiting a full statement of their case from the Corporation.
