Trade body calls for further investment in the games industry

UKIE issues four-point proposal to UK Government

UKIE has outlined a four-point proposal for more Government funding for the UK games industry. 

The trade body has called on George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to agree proposals for more investment in the games industry.

Secondly, the trade body has asked for the Skills Investment Fund to be made permanent.
