Clause 36
Finance (No. 2) Bill

Edward Balls (Economic Secretary, HM Treasury; Normanton, Labour)
I can give the hon. Lady the assurances that she asks for. The purpose of the clause is to enable a film made under international co-production agreement to be treated in the same way as a British film—with the enhanced relief. We discussed earlier how it will be made to work. As for international treaties, we have them with many important film-making centres throughout the world, but we will do what we can to ensure that more countries and film-making centres are brought within the scope of those international agreements.
