The Films Branch was formed in 1966, to deal specifically with the encouragement of the British film industry. Previously this function had been part of the responsibilities of Division 3 of the Industries and Manufactures Department. By 1971 the branch had been renamed as Films, Services and Distribution Division and this was changed again in 1972 to Paper, Printing and Publishing Services Division. A small section within this division dealt with the film industry.
