Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Sharon Hodgson (Labour), on Wednesday, 20 February 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 43 members in total.


COST OF DRINKS AND CONFECTIONERY IN CINEMAS

That this House deplores the extortionate costs of confectionery and drinks at many cinemas; condemns cinemas which remove customers for attempting to consume confectionery and drinks purchased outside; dismisses the notion that reducing prices of confectionery and drinks would automatically increase ticket prices; urges the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the high cost of confectionery and drinks in cinemas; and further supports a fairer deal for the public which would increase the number of visitors to cinemas and encourage wider support for the UK film industry.
