Key political parties set for game industry showdown

ELSPA Question Time event tonight

Today is the day three main political parties head to BAFTA’s London HQ to discuss the game industry’s most pressing issues.

Hosted by ELSPA, the Videogames Industry Pre Election Question Time 2010 will host a panel of three key MPs: Labour’s Tom Watson, Conservatives’ Ed Vaizey and Lib Dem’s Don Foster.

The Q&A session gives industry professionals a chance to grill MPs about the future of the industry, and are invited to ask questions on a range of topics.

One of the defining battle rounds for the session will undoubtedly be the issue of game tax breaks, which Labour backed during the Budget last week.

Tickets are available now, and to register before this evening ring: 0207 534 0580
