Computer Games Industry

I certainly would not disagree. As I said earlier, the Government could do much more. The hon. Gentleman makes a valid and important point. I sincerely fear that we have an overly simplistic one-size-fits-all solution that does not address the differing needs of UK businesses. Economic growth is stagnating, inward investment has fallen sharply since the crash and remains low, and computer games developers say loudly that the Government are paying no attention to the problems that they face. That is why I ask the Government to think again about their broad-brush and overly simplistic attitude to supporting business. They must get stuck in and get their sleeves rolled up, working out appropriate solutions for UK business and taking on the job of creating economic growth. Their do-nothing strategy is simply not working. The best place for them to start—I hope that I do not flatter myself—is to commence work on the proposals that I have outlined today to support the UK computer games industry. Constituencies such as mine of Dundee West, and constituencies throughout Scotland and the UK, suffered when the last Conservative Government failed to stand up for UK business, allowing us to be outwitted by foreign competitors. I strongly ask this Government not to make the same mistake.
