The comniit tees were originally required to report within 28 davs of the opening of the present session of Parliament. Asked by the_Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Holland, as to the origin of , the request for the inquiry into the film iiidustrv, the Minister of Industries and Coniiuorce, Mr. Nordmeyer, said that members who had sat oii the (souimittee and the public who had read the evideucve, would be convineed there vvere serious disadvantages through tlie creation of monopolies in the jndustry. It wat also obvious that the.ee were other matters that should be. investigated.
