The feature film and video game industry is to benefit from increased investment as well as a consultation on further support through the tax system, the Chancellor has announced.

Backed by the government, the Technology Strategy Board will launch a £15m fund to support producers of digital content within the UK.

A public consultation has also been announced, that will consider where tax breaks could provide additional support to this high-tech sector.
