answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2020 answer text <p>The government launched a call for evidence on 23 September 2020 to seek detailed information on the impact of loot boxes on players, particularly children and young people.

uin	109632
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2020 answer text <p>The Government supports scriptwriters as part of its broader sectoral support for the film sector, in particular through the approximately £70 million provided annually (including Lottery funding) to our lead agency for film the British Film Institute, and its funded partners. This funding supports screenwriting specific opportunities offered as part of the BFI Film Academy and BFI NETWORK, which invest in the next generation of screenwriting talent.</p><p>While the Department has not undertaken such specific research, the global box office performance of UK films and foreign productions which draw on UK source material is a good indicator of the value of scriptwriting. Of the top 200 grossing films released worldwide from 2010 to 2019, 26 are based on stories and characters created by UK writers, and collectively these films have earned $19 billion at the global box office,13% of the total.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 05/11/2020 16:48:51 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
