Pinewood under the spotlight once again

Saturday, 17 January 2015 00:00

Exactly how much money is the Pinewood film deal netting the Isle of Man?

Douglas South MHK Kate Beecroft will quiz Treasury on the matter in Tuesday's sitting of Tynwald.

She wants to know the current cash balance on the Media Development Fund and which films have made a profit in their own right.

Minister Eddie Teare will also have to find the value to the economy of eight feature films made on Island - ranging from Me and Orson Welles to the animated film Chico and Rita.

Tynwald will get underway at 10.30am.
