Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with Cabinet Colleagues on the Valuation Office Agency's planned increase in business rate evaluations for film 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).
