20. Mr. Robert G. HughesTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will make a statement about the current state of the British film industry; and what information he has as to a number of films currently in production, or planned for production, in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. ButcherInvestment in film production traditionally experiences cyclical downturns, and it is presently at a lower level than in recent years. However, figures prepared by the British Film and Television Producers Association indicate that in the first 10 months of this year investment was still substantial and exceeded £100 million.
