The motion
That this House offers its congratulations to all those involved in the Edinburgh International Film Festival; notes that the Festival is now in its 63rd year and has developed into a crucial business hub for the UK and international film industry, a key attraction for Edinburgh and one of the world's best-loved audience festivals; and further notes the disappointment expressed by Sir Sean Connery over the BBC's failure to provide any coverage of the Edinburgh International Film Festival despite sending over 400 technicians to the Glastonbury Festival.
