Tom Greatrex – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Greatrex on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of the number of films made in the UK as co-productions with foreign companies in each year since 1997.

Mr Edward Vaizey

The number of films made in the UK as co-productions with foreign companies is recorded in the BFI’s Statistical Yearbook and set out in the following table. Data is not available for the period before 2002 and does not include the numbers of inward investment which are substantially financed and controlled from outside the UK and which are attracted to the UK by factors including the UK’s filmmaking infrastructure and film tax relief. An international co-production is where a film is produced by more than one production company from more than one country.
