Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an impact assessment of the Valuation Office Agency's decision to raise business rates on film and TV studios.

The Government recognises the importance of the film and TV sector to the UK and is committed to maintaining a competitive offer for studios. The Valuation Office Agency is working closely with the film studio sector and its representatives to review valuation evidence through a Group Pre-Challenge Review (GPCR).
