Schedule 4
Finance Bill

Stephen Timms (Chief Secretary, HM Treasury; East Ham, Labour)
I have listened to the hon. Lady’s argument with interest. She has acknowledged that the new film tax relief will provide 20 per cent. of funding for films, but she is saying that that is not enough. I presume that she is saying that the public purse should provide a still higher proportion. What proportion does she think should come from the public purse towards the cost of producing a film?
