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.
The first is the reinstatement of the Prototype Fund with a budget of £6m to allow smaller games companies to access Tax Relief.
Secondly, the trade body has asked for the Skills Investment Fund to be made permanent.
