Asked by: Earl of Clancarty (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary)
Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch on 12 February (HL Deb col 1326), on what basis granting rights to all foreign performers would cost £5.9 million to the UK recorded music sector, and how the figure of £5.9 million was reached.
Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
This figure is the estimated equivalent annual net direct cost to business (EANDCB) over the period 2025-2034, were UK law to grant public performance rights to all foreign performers, relative to the option implemented by the Government. The basis for this is contained in the revised economic impact assessment that accompanied the Government’s response to the Intellectual Property Office consultation on the extension of public performance rights to foreign nationals, published on 5 November 2024. The figure corresponds to the difference in EANDCB between Option 0A (the option implemented by the Government) and Option 1 in that impact assessment.
