HC Deb 17 February 1978 vol 944 c408W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether the Eady levy is now subject to review; what representations he has had to review its operation; and whether he considers that the cinema can continue to be the main source of finance for the British Film Fund.

Mr. Meacher

All aspects of film financing are being examined in the light of expected developments and the first report of the Interim Action Committee. The Cinema Exhibitors' Association has made representations to me about the ability of cinemas to pay levy.
