BBC Newsnight to feature Livingstone-Hope Skills Review

The games industry will get its chance to speak to the nation next week, with the BBC’s Newsnight programme scheduled to run a feature on the Livingstone-Hope Skills Review.

Ahead of the department’s response, on Monday Newsnight will run a feature on the paper itself and the Education Department’s position.
