Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 June 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Ministers have not been entirely straightforward with their assurances, because, in the three or more years that it will take them to weaken the copyright law to benefit AI companies that they newly claim is not fit for purpose, they are forcing the sector to bleed wealth and jobs, and I am struggling to stand by and let that happen. The creative industries are grateful to your Lordships’ House and I am proud to be among the many noble Lords who have acted on principle, not party lines. It is the Government who have refused to meet convention and find a compromise.
