| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Those are obviously decisions for mayors rather than for us. I know both of them obviously and I think both of them had done an extraordinary job, although some of the media criticised them quite aggressively. The night-time economy is an important part of what people come to the UK for. One of the great delights as a …” | 137 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “There could. In a sense, that is what the agent of change principle is seeking to do. As I said earlier, that is why we are considering the question of whether or not we should put that into statute. Incidentally, I am a great fan of Amy Lamé. I remember her when she used to run Duckie at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.” | 62 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “I was one of the people who signed up to getting the Royal Vauxhall Tavern listed because I thought that it was an important part of our cultural heritage.” | 29 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “I cannot give you a precise date, but I think it is somewhere between soon and imminently.” | 17 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “After all these years. Dame Caroline, as Led Zeppelin sang, when the levee breaks, mama, you’ve got to move.” | 19 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Did you say “hopefully”?” | 4 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Quite aggressive questioning.” | 3 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Sorry, say that again. I am slightly deaf and this a really difficult room in which to hear, so if you could bellow, that would be very helpful, Dame Caroline.” | 30 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “That is what not what Tom Cruise told me last night.” | 11 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Yes. It is not easy setting up a new charity. Lots of us have done it as MPs and end up doing things in our own constituencies. I have myself. Obviously you want to make sure that the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees are adhered to. What is good is that quite a few people who have already signed up as trustees ar…” | 136 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Well, in the words of Harry Styles, we are pleasing, never perfect, so I would prefer us to have achieved a lot more by now. However, I said in my letter to you—in I think November last year—that we hoped to make substantial progress by the first quarter of 2025 and we have made substantial progress. That is good. But …” | 198 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “We have said that we want it to be a voluntary levy because it is quicker to achieve. As you know, anything that requires statute takes forever and a day. I do not know when the next King’s Speech is going to be, so I do not know when we would be able to legislate. I do not think we would be able to do it by secondary …” | 247 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Probably not, is the honest truth, for the reason that I just said. There might be an individual artist from overseas or whatever who might want to say, “If there is a charitable donation coming from me from my gigs it is going to go to the Amazon rainforest” or whatever it may be, and I would want to honour that. My g…” | 155 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “They are all part of the equation as well, and of course there is a lot of interaction between all the various parts of the ecosystem, and we are talking to them too.” | 33 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Well, it ends up being the whole package in a sense, because for anybody just putting together a tour—there are lots of other things that affect tours in particular, particularly big stadium tours, many of which I have addressed in different arena, including the issue of whether they can tour in Europe and things like …” | 88 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Live Nation could sign up 100% and help in relation to Ticketmaster, but also in relation to any of the acts that it is representing. I don’t know whether Alastair wants to add anything to that.” | 36 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “They are all part of the equation, and I am having a bit more of the conversation here now with them.” | 21 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “The ticketing websites? Obviously, that takes us on to the secondary ticket market as well.

| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “Keep calm, and do not get too frustrated with the charity commissioners. They have an important job to do to make sure that everybody understands their responsibilities that they take on as a trustee. However, you do have to dot the I’s and cross the T’s. You cannot take shortcuts when it comes to getting all of this r…” | 132 |
| 13 May 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843) “If it loses any element of credibility, people are going to start saying, “Well, I am not going to sign up to this”.” | 23 |
