To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) what recent progress has been made on the implementation of the UK-Israel Film Co-production Treaty; (281298)

(2) what recent discussions his Department has had with the Government of Israel on collaboration between the UK and Israeli film industries.

Mr. Simon

We have completed the substantive negotiations with Israel on a film co-production agreement. There are some minor elements to be finalised, but we expect to be able to announce arrangements for the signing of this treaty in the summer.
