The Films (Certification) (Amendment) Regulations 2006
These Regulations amend the Film (Certification) Regulations 1985 to require an application for certification of a film as a British film to include particulars relating to how the film meets the requirement to pass the cultural test. The requirement to pass the cultural test is set out in paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985 as modified by the Films (Definition of “British Film”) Order 2006. The Regulations also omit the particulars required in relation to the requirements removed by that Order (that is, the requirement that (i) at least 70% of the expenditure on the film is incurred on film production activity carried out in the United Kingdom, and (ii) not less that a requisite amount of labour costs of the film represents payments for the services of residents or citizens of Commonwealth countries or member States).
