British Film & High-End TV Inquiry Gets Its Sequel With Culture Committee Continuing To Probe Industry Under Labour Government

The British Film High-End TV Inquiry will continue under Labour and Caroline Dinenage

“The predecessor committee’s work in the last Parliament featured some blockbuster successes, securing tax incentives from the Treasury to support independent film and visual effects and raising awareness of the huge importance of the industry to the UK’s economy and culture,” said Dinenage. The previous inquiry called forward experts including Bend it Like Beckham auteur Gurdina Chadha, Slow Horses director James Hawes and the bosses of BBC Film and Film4. Yesterday’s budget threw bones to the film and TV industry in the shape of the rubberstamped VFX relief, additional funding for the BBC World Service and a £25M ($32M) cash injection for Fulwell 73’s new studio in the north east.
