§ Mr. ButlerTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what discussions he has had with the European Commission about the provision of state aids to the French state-owned film and TV production company, Société Francaise de Production.
§ Mr. SainsburyMy right hon. Friend has had no such discussions. Approval by the Commission for the recapitalisation of the Société Francaise de Production did not involve consultation with member states.
