Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 May 2025

Debate

US Tariff on UK Films

Contribution

My Lords, while the T-word across the pond is “tariffs”, here our film industry has been thriving thanks to tax credits. They have been a game-changer—the kind of investment that President Trump wants to repatriate. Whatever his plans—and I think the Minister mentioned this—should we not be looking to make our industry more resilient? Will the Government act to tackle the film skills issue with strategic thinking? If the answer is, “with the forthcoming creative industries industrial strategy”, when will we see the results? I hope that they will be of a cross-departmental nature.
