HC Deb 14 October 1996 vol 282 c664W
18. Mr. Whittingdale

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what recent consultations she has had with representatives of the film industry. [37942]

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

I have regular consultations with representatives of the film industry on a wide range of film-related issues. Specifically this summer I visited the United States of America where I met leading figures from the American film industry including representatives from MCA, Warner Bros. and the Motion Picture Association of America.

More recently, I attended the Edinburgh film festival, and visited Shepperton studios and the Warner Bros. feature animation studio in central London.
