Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport written question – answered at on 3 April 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department has a policy to attract the television and film industry to work in the UK.
The strength of the UK’s production sector is rooted in international confidence in the film-friendly policies of this government, including funding for the British Film Institute and British Film Commission, as well as the attractive fiscal environment created by the government’s creative sector tax reliefs. Such support, along with the world-class excellence of UK talent, crews and locations, continues to cement the UK’s reputation as a leading global destination for film and TV production. 2017 saw a new record for expenditure on inward investment film and television production with £1.69 billion for film, a 23% increase on the previous year, and £684 million for high-end television production, a 27% increase on 2016.
