asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the gross amount in pounds sterling for which dollars have been paid in respect of the showing of United States films in the United Kingdom for each of the years 1950–53, inclusive.

Following are the figures:

Calendar Year					£ million
1950	…	…	…	…	6·99
1951	…	…	…	…	8·73
1952	…	…	…	…	8·63

These figures include royalties import costs of exposed (but not unexposed) film, the cost of bills, posters, and other materials; but exclude profits and payments into unremittable accounts under the Anglo-American Film Agreement.
