HC Deb 19 December 2003 vol 416 c127W
19. Mr. Dhanda

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on the support for the British film industry in the pre-Budget report. [145845]

Estelle Morris

The Chancellor"s commitment to consider the extension of fiscal support for the film industry through the tax system is very good news for the industry. It reinforces this Government"s commitment to the development of a flourishing and sustainable film industry which brings with it huge cultural and economic benefits for the UK. Over the next few months, DCMS will be working closely with the industry and with the Treasury to identify the best means of delivering the support.
