HC Deb 20 March 1978 vol 946 c428W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he is satisfied that EMI has fulfilled the undertakings to retain the name of British Lion in some significant form and to enlarge EMI's support and financial involvement in British film production and distribution which were given to the National Film Finance Corporation when EMI purchased the National Film Finance Corporation's special preference share in British Lion Films Limited.

Mr. Meacher

I understand that half the films that EMI is releasing over the next few months will go out as British Lion and it is its policy that this pattern should be maintained. Half of the films to be released over the next few months will be wholly or partly made in this country.
