Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the Crown Works Studio project in Sunderland.
The Government is aware of the Crown Works Studio proposal in Sunderland and is supportive of investment which grows the film and high-end TV industry and creates more jobs and opportunities in the North East.
The Chancellor has regular meetings with Cabinet colleagues on a wide range of issues, including the creative industries. In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of ministerial discussions are not normally disclosed.
