FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1976

THE COMMISSIONER, THE SPOKESMAN SAID, WOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF THE PANEL OF CENSORS WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR AS AT PRESENT. HE WOULD, HOWEVER, UNDERTAKE THE DUTIES OF CHAIRMAN OF THE FILM BOARD OF REVIEW.

THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE BOARD WOULD BE INCREASED FROM FOUR TO SEVEN PERSONS - TWO OF WHOM WOULD BE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

THE OTHER FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WOULD INITIALLY CONTINUE TO BE THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, THE DIRECTOR OF HOME AFFAIRS, THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, AND THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.

HOWEVER, THESE APPOINTMENTS WOULD CEASE TO BE STATUTORY AND WOULD BE MADE ADMINISTRATIVELY, LEAVING THE WAY OPEN TO FURTHER INCREASE THE PUBLIC MEMBERSHIP IN THE FUTURE IF THIS WAS THOUGHT NECESSARY.

ALSO, WITH THE OBJECT OF INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC ADVICE TO THE DEPARTMENT, THE AUTHORITY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INVITE PEOPLE TO ATTEND CENSORSHIP SESSIONS.

OTHER INTENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATIONS WOULD ENSURE THAT A FILM PASSED FOR PUBLIC VIEWING IS SHOWN IN THE FORM AUTHORISED BY THE CENSOR AND THAT HIS DECISION IS COMMUNICATED IN WRITING TO THOSE CONCERNED WITH THE ACTUAL EXHIBITION OF THE FILM.
