Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 May 2025

Debate

US Tariff on UK Films

Contribution

My Lords, the creative industries face threats on a number of fronts, including trade tariffs on touring, as we heard earlier, and the widespread theft of their copyright. I am grateful to the Government for their efforts to avoid tariffs for the film industry—of which I was once a part—and to restore touring rights. However, can the Minister say why the Government have not shown similar support on the industry’s need to protect its property rights from overseas AI companies? I ask her to discuss this with her colleagues before the data legislation comes to this House on Monday, when I will try to insist that the Government look at it one more time.
