The Film Consortium and Pathe" Productions had spent their allocations by 2003, so have no spending showing in 2004 or 2005.

Mr. Pickles: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture,Media and Sport how many films were made by (a) DNA Films, (b) Pathe" and (c) The Film Consortium using the £95.67 million funding from the Arts Council between 1997 and 2003; and how many of them made a profit. [60003]

James Purnell: 51 feature films were made by DNA Films, Pathe" Productions and The Film Consortium using funding from the Arts Council England's film franchises between 1997 and 2003. The total worldwide box office generated by these films to date is in excess of £150 million.

Many of these films generated box office in excess of their production costs. As the UK Film Council does not have access to the details of the films' individual marketing spend worldwide or the revenues generated worldwide from their continued exploitation through video, DVD and television medium, it is not possible to calculate any profit made by these films.

Mr. Pickles: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many films which have received funding from the UK Film Council in the last 10 years have (a) broken even, (b) made a profit and (c) made a loss. [60004]

James Purnell: Since, the UK Film Council was set up in 2000, it has funded 117 films. While many of these films generated box office in excess of their production costs, the UK Film Council does not have access to the details of the films' individual marketing spend worldwide or the revenues generated worldwide from their continued exploitation through video, DVD and television. This information would be needed before the break-even point of a film could be calculated.
