HC Deb 07 March 1994 vol 239 c51W
25. Mr. Purchase

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what contribution the export of United Kingdom-produced films made to the United Kingdom's annual balance of trade in the last financial year for which records are available.

Mr. Brooke

Export earnings by United Kingdom film companies reached £371 million in 1992, the last year for which figures are available. Some £182 million of this total was earned from the provision of production services, with the remaining £189 million having come from overseas royalties.
