Debate between Diana Johnson and Nigel Adams

Monday 18th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Nigel Adams]

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for the fabulous work he has done, alongside UK Music and others interested in this subject, to bring about this change in policy in what is a very important area. The Government will be responding very shortly.

[Diana Johnson (Kingston upon Hull North) (Lab)]
