HC Deb 29 March 1971 vol 814 cc257-8W
48. Mr. Edelman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what further measures he is taking to assist the British film industry, to encourage employment of British actors, actresses and technicians, and to ensure the nondiscriminatory distribution and exhibition of British films on the basis of artistic and commercial merit.

Mr. Ridley

We have no plans to increase the generous support already given to the British Film Industry by existing films legislation.
