Sudden Tax Law Changes For Film Industry Stops Show In Mid-reel - Foster
12.00.00am GMT Thu 12th Feb 2004
Responding to the Government's decision to stamp out the tax relief offered to film investors in the UK, Don Foster MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesman for Culture, Media and Sport said: "It's ludicrous to bring in tax legislation without a moment's notice. The Government proudly tells us they fully support UK film, and now they've stopped the show mid-reel.
"Last year Estelle Morris gave clear support to the tax break system. Now we're witnessing another Government U-turn on an industry in need of real support."
"Ministers have pulled the red carpet from under the British film industry's feet"
