HC Deb 11 May 1983 vol 42 c833

Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. Ridley

The clause provides the transitional relief under which British films continue to qualify for capital allowances and provides for it to run on for a further three years until 31 March 1987. It gives effect to the announcement that I made on 19 January and to pressure from Committee members last year. I hope that that pressure will not be repeated, for reasons that are known. The clause is very much welcomed by the film industry and I hope that it leads to its continuing and greater success.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 55 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
