Government must give more support to motor sport industry, say MPs

The UK's motorsport industry may lose its current pole
position because ministers are not giving it enough support, a Commons
committee warns.
The industry was hailed by the House of Commons Business, Innovation and
Skills Committee as a "crown jewel of UK manufacturing", with 4,500
small firms.
But the committee's Full Speed Ahead report says if motorsport is
treated as a "niche" market then work may be lost.
"Motorsport is an industry of national importance," the report says.
"We find it difficult to imagine any other country sidelining such an
important industry," the committee's chairman Peter Luff said.
"The government needs to address this problem if the UK is to maintain
this pre-eminent international industry and help it flourish." |
