HC Deb 31 July 1972 vol 842 c11W
60. Mr. Edelman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to encourage the expansion of the British film industry.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Film production companies benefit from quota legislation and payments out of the British Film Fund and the National Film Finance Corporation has with our support recently joined with private investors to set up a consortium to encourage film production.

61. Mr. Edelman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is his policy in relation to the diversification of ownership of film studios with a view to the encouragement of competition.

I am satisfied that studio facilities are available on a competitive basis to anyone who wishes to produce a film in this country.
