Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the future of the London Film Commission. [117571]

Mr. Chris Smith

My Department has been working closely with the London Film Commission and the Film Council to ensure that the valuable services provided by the Commission continue to be provided. I am very pleased that a solution has been found which will enable the Commission to focus on its main priorities while seeking to ensure that it has a sound financial basis for its future operation.
