Labour culture spokeswoman Patricia Ferguson said: "Scottish producers may not be able to capitalise on the high-end tax credit which has now come into place as of April 1. "Given that many regions in England, Northern Ireland and now Wales now have a studio complex that allows producers to capitalise on that tax credit, can she tell me when Scotland will be able to take advantage of this provision and when we can expect to see a film complex studio, and if it's likely to be in Glasgow?" Ms Hyslop said: "We need a film a studio, particularly with an effective sound studio as part of that complex. "I cannot, for confidentiality reasons in terms of commercial discussions, comment on progress but I can reassure that, with the delivery group, we are in active discussions with a range of organisations which I hope will give an opportunity for positive news in this area at some point in the future."
