Oral Answers to Questions

Liam Conlon Excerpts

Wednesday 26th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Peter Kyle]

The hon. Lady raises a very important point. I have met Baroness Bertin, the author of the report, and I am seeking ways to ensure that the issues raised in it are acted upon.

[Liam Conlon (Beckenham and Penge) (Lab)]

T3. Beckenham and Penge is where local lad David Bowie launched his music career, and today it is home to a vibrant, talented community of creatives whose work is increasingly sought after by AI companies. Our creatives deserve a just deal to provide fair pay for my constituents and the legal certainty required to encourage Ai investment. What steps is the Minister taking to deliver that?

[The Minister for Data Protection and Telecoms (Chris Bryant)]

This country is a creative content superpower, and we will do absolutely nothing to undermine that. We want to make sure that people are properly remunerated for their work and that AI companies have access to the high-quality data that they need to be able to deploy effectively in this country.
