HC Deb 14 November 1974 vol 881 c215W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many feature films, and of what value, were exported to Great Britain by India during the first three quarters of 1973–74; and how many British films, and of what value, were exported to India in that period.

Mr. Deakins

Feature films are not separately distinguished in the United Kingdom Overseas Trade Statistics. Indian statistics show the value of this trade and available figures are as follows:
