asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any further statement to make as to his consultations with the Board of Trade and the Army Kinema Corporation with regard to the closing of cinemas at Larkhill, Bulford and Tidworth over five months ago; and what further representation he has received from the local cinemas for the Civilians Committee.

The Corporation continues to examine the possibility of relaxing the restriction on the admission of civilians to these cinemas but, as the right hon. Member knows, this is a difficult and complicated matter. The War Office has had no representations from this committee since 22nd March.
