Speeches by Rutland.

“From having disclosure. Can you talk a little about your no politics rule, as well as your view on the former question, if that is all right?”

“Perhaps to Mathilde and Liam, how are the signatories to the statement’s concerns about the impact of generative AI on their livelihoods playing out in practice?”

“Liam, how responsive do you find employers within the film and TV industry are to your efforts to negotiate new AI protections into contracts?”

“Brilliant. Mathilde, in cases where performance contracts were signed before AI tools had been thought about, what can be done to prevent an earlier work being used to train AI models that might put the performer out of future work?”

“Interesting. Ed and Liam briefly, how far are creators likely to go to protect their rights? Will we see more strikes in the screen industries?”

“Good morning. I will ask a little bit about audiences. I should disclose an interest that I am a former official for Prospect and Bectu trade unions, which represent workers in the creative arts. Could you be brief with your answers, if possible? Do audiences have a problem with the use of generative AI in programme ma…”

“Martin, do you have a view? You talked about having a no politics rule. Would certain types of content such as current affairs or political broadcasts benefit?”

“Perhaps to Mathilde and Liam, how are the signatories to the statement’s concerns about the impact of generative AI on their livelihoods playing out in practice?”

“Liam, how responsive do you find employers within the film and TV industry are to your efforts to negotiate new AI protections into contracts?”

“Interesting. Ed and Liam briefly, how far are creators likely to go to protect their rights? Will we see more strikes in the screen industries?”

“You described it as broadly on track. Are you satisfied that Ofcom has struck the right balance between taking time to consult on the new prominence regime and the need to bring that new regime into force, given the pace of technological change?”

“I would like to ask some questions about prominence and public service broadcasters but first I should refer to my register of interests, including hospitality from Channel 4 and additionally having received hospitality from the BBC as well as chairing the BBC APPG and being a former employee of the Prospect and Bectu …”

“I am trying to show some of that balance myself, moving on to physical activity. You talked a bit about being on four of the five mission boards. DCMS leads on sport policy but no single Department can drive the long-term change needed on physical activity. How are you making the case across government to ensure that p…”

“Do you think there is a risk that if you take the direction of travel of banning different kinds of advertising, whether that is for commercial PSBs or other commercial broadcasters, eventually you reach a situation where those that can advertise are no longer able to and advertising revenues will fall even further?”

“Turning to another challenge, particularly for the commercial PSBs, what impact do the Government think that the ban on less-healthy foods will have on commercial public service broadcasters and do you have any plans to try to mitigate that impact?”

“T9. After years of failure by West Sussex county council to plan properly for secondary school places, parents in Shoreham face another year of waiting to find out if their children will have to travel a long distance for their education. Will the Minister meet me to discuss their concerns?”

“Shoplifting is a crime that threatens the feeling of safety for shoppers and shop workers alike. In my constituency of East Worthing and Shoreham, the issue has become so severe that in the past year a resident has described it as an epidemic. Can my right hon.

“19. What steps her Department is taking to help tackle shoplifting and violence against shop workers.”
