No, Sir. I have decided to accept the advice of the Cinematograph Films Council to maintain the prescribed quotas at 30 per cent. for first feature films and 25 per cent. for the supporting programme for the exhibitors' quota year beginning the 1st January, 1965.

Forty-five per cent. of the first feature films shown by the two major circuit companies in 1963 were British. Both these companies announced at the end of last year that they were reasonably confident that this would be the case in 1964. They have now informed me that on the assumption that British films continue to be available in sufficient numbers and quality, they expect this position to continue in 1965.
