I will respond to this question as it falls within my portfolio and because I have answered on this matter in the past.

These changes in our relationship with Pinewood follow commercial changes within the structure of Pinewood as a company and the company that is now responsible for Pinewood’s facilities. It is not accurate to say that we as a Government are paying Pinewood, but Pinewood ceased to provide a service in terms of managing third party funds. That is the most significant change, and the agreement that the Welsh Government has renegotiated with Pinewood, within that collaborative framework, means that Pinewood continues to operate the studio but that Pinewood doesn’t promote as it did in the past under the previous contract.
