PROPOSED PROTECTION.
BILL PASSED IN COMMONS
S " S - 7 - CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
(Received November 18th, 7.30 p.m.)
LONDON, November 18. In the House of Commons, on the report stage of the Cinematograph Films Bill, Sir P. Cunliffe-Liste,. accepted an amendment to omit the provision that BrltE? {!uCers ° f British filnls be Britishers, accepting the view that the industry ought to draw from the best talent available for technical directors. wn,,M , , ter forec ast that this would only lead to Britain and the Dominions being flooded with films made in England by foreigners, but hallmarked British.
On the motion for a third reading, f*\T' lcx ' ander moved the rejection ol the Bill as being a protective measure of the worst kind. He said he wondered whether there would be a Bill forcing British distributors to sell quotas of Australian dried and fresh fruits. The Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association had already decided on a plan to defeat the clauses dealing with blind and block booking. The Bill was read a third time by 223 votes to 125.
