Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department is taking steps to support the visual effects industry in the context of the competitive international market.

The government is committed to supporting the UK’s visual effects (VFX) industry, ensuring that they remain competitive and with international reach.

The government will continue to ensure tax incentives are modern, agile, competitive and attractive.

We will also continue to focus on maintaining a strong and globally competitive film and tv industry by supporting investment in infrastructure; fostering innovation; working with industry on skills development; and promoting independent content.

The government will continue to engage with sector organisations such as the UK Screen Alliance to support and champion our award winning VFX talent and make the UK an attractive and competitive place to do business.
