Oral Answers to Questions

Jonathan Davies Excerpts

Thursday 18th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Arts (Ian Murray)]

As the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology laid out to the House on 18 March, we are taking forward four big strategic priorities—digital replicas, AI labelling, creative control and licensing—to get this right. No country in the world has been able to resolve this problem, but the UK is uniquely placed to try to resolve it. We want to work across the House and with both the tech and creative industries to get it right.

[Jonathan Davies (Mid Derbyshire) (Lab)]

T4. The National Centre for Arts and Music Education is due to be up and running this September. Can the Secretary of State tell us whether it will be ready in time and who will run it, and can she give us an overview of its remit?

[Lisa Nandy]

We are working very closely with the Department for Education to ensure that the national centre is launched in September, and we will update my hon. Friend and the House very shortly on the progress that we are making.
