HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 c27W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the financial size of the media sector of the British economy.

Mr. Nelson

There is no generally accepted definition of the coverage of the media sector. However, information on the newspaper printing and publishing industry is given in "Business Monitor PA475—Printing and Publishing". Information on film and recording studios, cinemas, radio and television is included in the "Business Monitor SDA29 —Service Trades", but is not separately identifiable. These annual publications are available from the House Library.
