Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, which stakeholders the Government has consulted with as part of the Government's impact assessment relating to the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the UK video games industry; and what evidence the Government has gathered as part of that assessment.

The Government have committed to providing business and the wider public with as much information as possible without undermining the national interest. We are achieving this through regular engagement with businesses and stakeholders at both a ministerial and official level across Whitehall.

We have looked closely at the UK video games industry as part of our wider analysis. However, as I said in my opening remarks to the House on 1st November, the Government has not produced a series of sectoral impact assessments.

The Government remains committed to securing the best possible deal for the United Kingdom - a deal that works for all sectors of the UK economy. We have been engaging with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the economy and all regions of the UK in order to inform our negotiations with the EU.
