I had a sleepless night wondering about this moment and what to do. I have decided that I am prepared to lose, because I know that there are thousands of people out there who are asking their elected Government to stand by their property, their livelihood and our second most important wealth-building industrial sector. If we do not do that now, we know that no one else will do it. If that is what it means to be a noble Lord and to challenge, then I am challenging the Government to please come back with something meaningful that has a timeframe and a vehicle for transparency. The noble Baroness is right that those things must happen; I agree with her on that, but they will take two, three or four years and, by that time, it will be too late for the creative industries.
