HC Deb 22 November 1982 vol 32 c321W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Minister for Trade whether, in the forthcoming review of the British film industry, he will consult the Scottish Council for Educational Technology, the Scottish Film Council, and the Association for Film and Television in the Celtic Countries.

Mr. Sproat

I intend to consult appropriate interests in the United Kingdom as a whole. If those bodies to which the hon. Member specifically refers wish to make representations to me, I should welcome it.

Mr. Woolmer

asked the Minister for Trade, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Batley and Morley on 15 November regarding his review of Government policy on the film industry, what are the stages of his review which he considers may be completed before March 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sproat

I hope by that time to have reviewed particularly the regulatory aspects of the Department of Trade's relations with the industry.
