§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the recent withdrawal of United States film interests from this country, he will take steps to increase the grant to the British Film Fund; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyThe British Film Fund is financed not by a grant but by a levy on exhibitors under Section 2 of the Cinematograph Films Act, 1957. The rate of the levy is decided after consultation with the Cinematograph Films Council and taking account of the interests of both producers and exhibitors. There are no plans at present for changing the current rate.
