Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:44 pm on 12 June 2018.
First of all, around about just over £4 million has been recouped, but many projects are still in progress. You wouldn't expect the whole lot to be recouped in one fell swoop. These are long-term projects, and the money is recouped over a longer period. I just wonder—I have some comments in front of me here, which I wonder if he agrees with:
'The addition of the globally-recognised Pinewood production company to Wales’ already rich film production industry is very welcome.
'An increasing number of blockbuster films are being shot at locations across Wales and Pinewood’s new base will offer even more opportunities to see Wales on film, from which the whole country could benefit....
'This very welcome announcement is further evidence of Wales’ growing reputation, as an ideal venue for filmmakers, with the right skills mix to tantalise future cinema goers and movie fans.'
I agree with those comments. They came from his own party—Suzy Davies.
