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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of challenges within the video games industry.

The Government is committed to the success of the UK games sector and we work closely with industry to support its future growth.

This includes the £13.4 million UK Games Fund supporting new IP and talent and generous video games tax reliefs.

However, we are also focused on building a talent pipeline through the Creative Careers Programme, T-Levels and bootcamps, and local skills improvement plans. Additionally, we have worked closely with industry to deliver guidance on loot boxes, and developed a video games research framework to inform future policy making.
