There is a great deal that I could have said on that subject but tonight we are not debating the Present Film Crisis nor are we debating the degree of redundancy and unemployment nor the number of idle studios we are debating the question whether the quota which has been fixed is realistic in the light of the probable supply of films, and on that subject one obviously cannot say too much about the film crisis.

I do not deny that the Plant Report and, as I volunteered this afternoon in case it had been forgotten, the Gater Report drew attention to the position of the Entertainments Duty in the industry, but to suggest that the Film Crisis is due to the Entertainments Duty is, I think, completely to misunderstand the position.
