HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 c290W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he is satisfied that the relief measures last September are likely to produce for cinemas the desired £1 million relief from the Eady levy.

Mr. Meacher

Yes, and I have taken the advice of the Cinematograph Films Council. It does not appear that there will be any significant shortfall in the intended relief but the economic position of cinemas has not improved and I am considering whether to put further proposals to the House.
