20 May 2025 Ukraine: Forcibly Deported Children

The Minister is giving a typically humane account of what we are debating and of what I have been able to see today. It shows real strength of feeling to see the House so united on such an appalling issue. I have one question for the Minister. Can he confirm whether, as we saw yesterday with the change in the musculari

13 May 2025 Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

This will be my last intervention for now. Will the Minister make it his policy to include representatives of the creative industries on the technical committees that are working on AI and copyright reform? We arrived at this point because there is a sense that one Department speaks to some people, and another Departme

13 May 2025 Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

The hon. Gentleman has been generous with his time today and in the process to date, and I thank him for that. I understand the Government have long maintained that this Bill is not the right place for these amendments. Given the Government’s anticipated removal of the Lords amendments and the use of financial privileg

You have obviously been in the Department—

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

That is quite a low bar to affirm from. But in terms of your assessment of the Department, can you see within the year of your tenure now, is there quite a lot of waste or duplication? We have seen the Health Department taking quite strident action on NHS England. Do you see there being equivalences in your Department

UK artists to the EU.

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

I think not. Would you care to comment on the reports of the DCMS being disbanded? Could you see any merit in such a seemingly reckless act?

27
13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

In your 10-point plan for music you did not mention anything on copyright. Would you expect that to be in your 10-point plan, the protection of copyright in the age of AI?

32
13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

Mark, you started with a list. In politics, starting with a list, you always leave people off and there were some absentees from your list, including the biggest global promoter, as I understand it. Who is not on that list of praise but should be?

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

Isn’t that the problem? I do not see that as muddying the waters. I see it as recognising the ecosystem. If you are a music fan, you do not see it as muddying the waters that you see the band live and stream them afterwards, or vice versa. In fact, you routinely are told when the band you have been listening to is now

UK artists to the EU.

Quite. You are greedy.

I said, “hopefully not”, as the recording will confirm.

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

That was quite a guitar solo, Jon. Well done. You have crept on to my question, which was going to be about EU touring. Just to Steve and Nancy, please, on the issue of EU touring. It has been suggested that the Government will push for a deal on EU touring, something I have supported, and I know colleagues in the sess

Hopefully not.

Hi, everybody. Thanks for this morning. Jon, you were mentioned quite a lot in the first session. I have a question for you: have you specifically asked Live Nation to get involved in this? It was decidedly absent from the list of praise from one of the previous witnesses.

13 May 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 843)

Changing topic, the Minister has talked about developing a 10-point plan or a 10-plus point plan for music. What would you like to see that DCMS has not already committed to?

Streaming, or streamer companies having an interest, taking more of an interest, taking more cultivation of grassroots music venues, since the streaming revenue begins with the emerging artists starting, finding their feet, cutting their teeth.
