HC Deb 21 January 1970 vol 794 cc132-3W
47. Mr. Edelman

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to help the British film industry, in addition to his proposals for increasing the subsidy to the National Film Finance Corporation.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The Corporation does not receive a subsidy from the Government. I would refer my hon. Friend to the Films Bill now before Parliament which contains our proposals for the continuation of the quota and levy, the provision of further finance for the National Film Finance Corporation, the continuation of the Corporation's loan making powers for a further period and the extension of those powers.
