S1M-241# Richard Lochhead (North East Scotland) (SNP) : Scottish Film Industry— That the Parliament recognises the valuable economic and cultural contribution the film sector makes to Scotland and notes that 24 feature length productions have been filmed in Scotland this year resulting in a record local spend of over £28 million; supports the development of a major film studio in Scotland in recognition of the boost that such a facility would provide, and urges the Scottish Executive to work with the Scottish film industry to ensure that it continues to develop and achieve its full potential.
