Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to increase the UK film industry's exports to (a) the EU (b) South America, (c) Asia and the Pacific.

The Department for Business and Trade has a dedicated exports promotion programme for the film and high-end TV industry, which includes providing export support for businesses at major international film festivals and markets.

We prioritise growth markets, including the EU, the Asia-Pacific and Latin America, with an overall objective to increase our global exports footprint. We work with the UK film and TV sectors to remove market access barriers to enable businesses to increase their exports and use free trade agreements to grow exports.
