PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(5 June 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of proposed US tariffs on foreign-produced films on the UK film industry.

Asked by:
Mr Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

There are no tariffs on the UK film industry, but we continue to monitor the situation closely and recognise the seriousness of this issue.

We continue to take a calm and balanced approach to our discussions with the US following our recent UK-US Economic Prosperity Deal.

The US and the UK have a special, mutually beneficial relationship, unique cultural and linguistic ties. Our film sectors are heavily connected, founded on decades of partnership and exchange.

Our commitment to helping our film and TV industry flourish remains absolute and it is important to maintain the conditions that allow our sectors to continue to flourish together and avoid measures which undermine these conditions.
