HC Deb 04 December 1969 vol 792 c376W
Mr. Stainton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what advances were made in total by the National Film Finance Corporation in its five financial years to March, 1969; and if he will give the percentage thereof loaned to Rank, Associated British Picture Corporation and British Lion, respectively.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Loans totalling £3,520,914 were made to film makers by the National Film Finance Corporation during the five years ended 31st March, 1969. I cannot give details of the amounts lent to individual companies, but the hon. Member will find in the Annual Reports of the Corporation, which are published and laid before Parliament, lists of the titles of films assisted by the Corporation, with in each case the names of the production company and of the United Kingdom distributor.
