HL Deb 20 July 1989 vol 510 c1027WA
Lord Brougham and Vaux

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have for the future funding of the British film industry.

Lord Young of Graffham

My department is already committed to providing support of £2 million a year through British Screen Finance Ltd. for the five years 1986–90. I am pleased to announce that I have decided that this should continue for a further three years, until the end of 1993. I hope this clear indication of further government support for UK film making will help BSF to build on its achievements to date and that industry will also extend its own commitment.
