§ Mr. Ensorasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will increase the loan fund of the National Film Finance Corporation, as recommended in the Annual Report of the British Film Producers' Association, in order to assist British film producers to meet the costs of the expensive productions which would compete in world markets and so aid the balance of payments.
§ Mr. MasonMy right hon. Friend is aware of the Report, to which my hon. Friend has referred. The National Film Finance Corporation's statutory power to make loans expires in March 1967 and my right hon. Friend is, therefore, considering the Corporation's future rôle.
