Games creatives: we must hold whoever wins the election to their pledges

The UK's creative industries will play a key part in boosting the economy, but any future government has to stand by existing promises of support

Only last month, the government decided to launch a 4 million prototype fund to help start-ups in the video games sector as part of the chancellor George Osborne's final budget of the current parliament.

This government also announced an additional 4m funding over the next two years to support the Skills Investment Fund - a pot of match-funding for training within the video games industry and other creative sectors.
