Proceeding contribution from Jim McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on UK Software Industry.


UK Software Industry

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way; I went to my usual seat in the Chamber over here, so I seem to have split from the Opposition. On the subject of access to MPs, prior to the previous Labour Government's March Budget statement, numerous Ministers—the Chancellor, the Secretary of State for Scotland, and Ministers from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport—visited Abertay university. They saw for themselves just how important the industry was to Dundee and, on the back of that, the Chancellor announced a tax break for computer games. However, since the general election, there has been not one visit to Dundee.
