asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any and, if so, what action is being taken in Australia with regard to the recommendations of the Imperial Conference in connection with British films?
Lieut-Colonel Leo Amery
, Birmingham Sparkbrook
The Report of the Sub-Committee of the Imperial Conference on the subject of films, which has been published, referred to certain action which had already been taken in Australia; but I have no information as to any action taken there since the Conference, and, indeed, there has not been time for the recommendations of the Conference to reach Australia otherwise than in the form of a telegraphed summary.

Has the right hon. Gentleman seen the cable by Reuter to the effect that the question is now being dealt with by the Commonwealth Legislature?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
