Just for clarity, it is my understanding that the number of productions in receipt of section 481 tax credits which employ an Irish-based composer or use any Irish-based music contribution continues to remain static at just 30%. My question was not in relation to Britain's music scene getting bigger. The Minister said that if we decided that Irish-based composers had to be used, it could impose a limit. Has analysis been done in Britain that the measure would have a knock-on impact on the number of films produced in Britain?
