Proceeding contribution from Jim McGovern (Labour) 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
The hon. Gentleman has indicated that part of the computer games industry is based in his constituency—in fact, he seemed to indicate that the industry originated there. Does he agree that a change of name or title is required? When people hear ““computer games industry””, they think of young lads between 15 and 30 sitting in front of a computer screen playing ““APB”” or ““Grand Theft Auto””, when in fact, as people who have visited Abertay university in Dundee will have seen, it is used in medical research, construction and architecture. Perhaps we need a change of focus, rather than continuing to call it the ““video games industry””.
