I said that I will listen to noble Lords, and I will, but, should the Government prevail, it will be a catastrophic day for the creative industries and a catastrophic error of judgment. Private property is not theirs to give away, and the so-called “Kidron amendments” are not my amendments but a clarion cry from the creative and UK AI industries for government protection from a handful of very powerful companies that are stealing their property, their wages, their pensions, and their maternity, holiday and sick pay. The Government were asked to offer a lifeline, but they have chosen to turn the most modest amendment into a political crisis by refusing to compromise.
