Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No.2) Bill.


Finance (No.2) Bill

Notwithstanding the hon. Gentleman's points about the film tax credit, I am sure that he will understand the business model around which the video games industry operates. A large amount of cash is spent in the development of games, but revenue drops off in the run-up to a new hardware offering or console being developed. The difficulties that the sector faces are exacerbated by the regular new hardware offerings. Does that not make a stronger case for some sort of assistance?
