English term or phrase: along lead lines
In some other universities, institutes of technology, I have shown the film and we had very good discussion with students, but in terms of the actual scientist and the places where atomic energy is made and researched they didn’t welcome an open debate of the issue. And so there’s been no proper debate along lead lines. I mean I suppose that the more people see the film, informally even, this debate must be going on in private, but I don’t see any open discussion about it, apart from the few articles that come in the newspapers.

This is the transcription of an interview with the director of the documentary I am translating.

\"a lo largo de\" no me suena mucho...

de lo substantivo


Explanation:
... así que no ha habido el debido debate de lo su(b)stantivo. Algunas personas le quitan la 's' en este caso.
