Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 29 March 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, may I congratulate you on your energetic and sterling efforts to ensure that Wales is promoted in television and film productions? I noted with interest the promotional showreel introduced by Hollywood A-lister Michael Sheen, which features clips from some of the latest major productions filmed in Wales and which does promote everything that the country has to offer as a filming location. Twenty-sixteen was a successful year for Wales Screen, which handled 386 production inquiries with more than £41 million spent in Wales by productions, supported by this Welsh Labour Government. Cabinet Secretary, what can the Welsh Government do to encourage further promotion of Wales and Welsh culture in television and film productions?
