On 2 February 2021, the Minister for Digital and Culture, Caroline Dinenage MP, answered a written question on TIGA’s proposal for a video games investment fund.
The question was asked by Jonathan Gullis, Conservative MP for Stoke-on-Trent North.
In the answer, the Government highlighted Creative Industries Economic Estimates from DCMS. The data shows that in 2019, the video games industry contributed an estimated £2.9 billion to the UK economy.
Dinenage stated that the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport will continue to fund the UK Games fund in 2021/2022.
The UK Games fund is designed to provide support to early graduates and early-stage games development businesses in the UK.
