HC Deb 12 May 1967 vol 746 cc297-8W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has decided the levels of the quotas of British films to be shown by exhibitors during the year beginning 1st January, 1968.

Mr. Jay

I have decided to accept the advice of the Cinematograph Films Council and to leave the exhibitors' quotas at 30 per cent. for first feature films and 25 per cent. for supporting programmes for the quota year beginning 1st January, 1968.

Britain; and what percentage is processed in the country.

Mr. Darling

United Kingdom production of wood chipboard in 1966 was 162,332 tons. In 1966 imports of wood chipboard were 53,585 tons and of other kinds of particle board, 36,969 tons, so United Kingdom production accounted for 64 per cent. of total supplies. Exports are not separately recorded but are known to be small. Separate figures for Great Britain are not available.
