The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Mr Edward Vaizey)
I am delighted to reiterate this Government’s commitment to the creative industries, with the establishment of the creative industries council, the video games tax credit—as well as for high-end television and animation—and the visit of the Minister for creative industries to Leamington Spa in the near future.
Andy McDonald (Middlesbrough) (Lab)
