Leave for Bill: Cinemas (Rural Areas)
I beg to move,
That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision about cinemas in rural areas
I am delighted to have this opportunity to present a Bill that will increase the opportunities for filmgoing in rural areas. There are two important trends at present in UK cinema exhibition. First, the good news: cinema audiences and the number of cinema screens are both growing. However, the bad news is that there is a growing concentration of that capacity, to the exclusion of many of our communities.
