HC Deb 02 July 2001 vol 371 c78W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on the future of Ealing Studios. [118]

Tessa Jowell

[holding answer 25 June 2001]: The Ealing Film Studios are privately owned and future ownership is therefore a commercial matter. Nonetheless, the Government welcome the fact that the studios, which are an important part of our film heritage, are to undergo a £50 million refit.
