As the Minister knows, I have raised the issue of the connection between section 481 tax relief and rights for workers and trainees, and the condition attached to this relief to the effect that the film production companies to which it is given should provide quality employment and training. The Minister has stated, rightly in my opinion, in reply to previous questions that it should be defined, as a minimum, as compliance with the law on workers' rights and employment legislation. Will the Minister give us an update on how we will ensure this is happening and ensure compliance with the rights of employees is actually being applied the film industry?
